Ingredients Needed

• Bell peppers – Seed and dice one red pepper and one green pepper.

• Seasoning – Seasoned salt, garlic powder, dried parsley, paprika and ground black pepper are what give these potatoes so much flavor.

• Fresh Italian parsley – Parsley garnish adds a fresh taste and vibrant color.

what are the best type of potatoes to use?

The best potatoes to cook on the Blackstone griddle are Russet or Yukon golds. Baby potatoes are great to use as well because of their small size, just cut them in half or quarters and you are good to go.

We do not recommend red potatoes because they are waxy and will not crisp up as nicely as the more pale varieties.

do i boil the potatoes before frying them?

You do not need to boil potatoes before frying them. Sure, there are recipes that require you to do so, but we are saving a step and dishes here by placing the raw potatoes directly onto the grill after seasoning them. They will be perfectly fork-tender!

Good question. You can close it intermittently, but I don’t recommend leaving it closed as you cook because it can actually damage the lid itself.

Store any leftover Blackstone breakfast potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

how to reheat leftover breakfast potatoes

Reheat any leftovers back on the Blackstone, stove top or air fryer so the potatoes stay nice and crispy. You can microwave them if you want, but they might not stay as crispy.
