• Precook the Potatoes:
  • To speed up the cooking process, you can partially cook the diced potatoes before finishing them in the duck fat. To do this, place the diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them for about 4-5 minutes until they are just starting to become tender. This step is optional but can reduce the cooking time in the duck fat.
• Sauté the Onions and Garlic:
  • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the duck fat over medium heat.
  • Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.
  • Add the minced garlic and continue sautéing for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Add the Potatoes and Herbs:
  • If you pre-cooked the potatoes in the microwave, add them to the skillet with the onions and garlic. If not, you can add the raw diced potatoes directly to the skillet.
  • Stir the potatoes to coat them with the duck fat and distribute the onions and garlic evenly.
  • Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme and rosemary over the potatoes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook the Breakfast Potatoes:
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they become crispy and golden brown on the outside. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning, and make sure the potatoes cook evenly on all sides.
• Garnish and Serve:
  • Once the breakfast potatoes are nicely browned and crispy, remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Optionally, garnish the potatoes with chopped fresh parsley for an extra burst of freshness.
