A hearty and flavorful breakfast skillet combining tender pork, crispy potatoes, and aromatic seasonings.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the diced potatoes and chopped onion to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, hickory smoked salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat evenly.
Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Spread the mixture into a single layer and let it cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to brown.
Avoid stirring too often to allow the potatoes to develop a crispy exterior.
Add the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook for 8 minutes to soften the potatoes.
Check occasionally to ensure the water hasn't evaporated completely.
Remove the lid, add the cooked pork, and stir. Cook on high heat until the pork is heated through and the potatoes are crispy.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Serve the skillet hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of toast or eggs for a complete breakfast.
