A balanced breakfast
We had a few leftover cooked potatoes from a crayfish boil and decided some spice was in order. If you can’t handle the heat, or think they could be even hotter, adjust accordingly. Having cooked potatoes on hand made for a speedier dish, but there’s nothing that says you can’t cook yours from scratch.
Home Fries with Chipotle Peppers
- 2 cups cooked red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1 1/2 tbsp bacon grease
- 1 tbsp minced chipotle pepper in adobe
- salt/pepper
Heat bacon grease in a large skillet. Throw in onions and cook until tender and beginning to brown. Stir in pepper and cook a minute longer. Throw in potatoes and cook until heated through. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm.

Those look yummy and I just ate. Love chipotle and these sound perfect.
I need to go shopping and pick up some potatoes and chipotle in adobo cause this dish sounds very tasty.
another huge fan of chipotle here! i ve been using it more and more lately
Nice.
Very good looking plateful on a freezing,cold morning.
Spuddies with bacon fat – has to be good.

Gorgeous, in fact the whole dish looks perfect!
Brilliant. I love using up leftovers like this. I always keep a covered container of leftover potatoes on the wokrtop for a quick fry-up.
Now this is my kind of breakfast! Love the heat too, and it’s perfect as I’ve been fighting a rather persistent respiratory infection that’s really taken me out. I love spicy when I have a cold.
I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks Greg.
Lately, I’ve been making chunky french fries in the oven…not fried, but drizzled with virgin oil and spices. I will have to try these, too.
These look great. My husband loves chipotle in adobo, so I’ll have to try this recipe!
You know you are a Southerner when you proudly list bacon grease as an ingredient.
Yum, spicy home fries and eggs sounds like a great way to start off this weekend.
Looks yummy!
I’ve been making home fries with bacon grease lately but not with the chipotle. Served with a couple eggs and bacon and you’ve got a breakfast that will get you moving in the morning.
These look freakin’ fantastic. What a great way to use chipotles in adobe! And the bacon grease. Mmm. Bacon grease.
Great flavours!
What a perfect side dish to compliment just about any meal.
These look great. You can’t go wrong with bacon grease.
Take away the bacon grease and I’m in. Roasted breakfast potatoes are delicious!
They’d still be great with olive oil. We had bacon grease left over and hate to just scrap it.
Leftover potatoes are a great starter. 😀
I love any kind of potatoes for breakfast, great idea!
This just makes me hungry! Abigail x
If its spicy I will devour it in no time!
