Chili Breakfast Potatoes

By , About.com Guide

A quick and easy recipe for Mexican chilied breakfast potatoes with sour cream. This breakfast recipe is vegetarian, but you could easily make it vegan by either omitting the sour cream or using a soy based vegan sour cream instead.

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 large potatoes

In a large skillet, sautee the potatoes, onion and mushrooms in olive oil. Add the chili powder and cook, stirring frequently, for about 7 to 9 minutes, until potatoes are browned. Add the green onions and cook for one more minute.

Top with avocado and remaining ingredients, if desired. Serve hot.
