Breakfast Potatoes

Place potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl; drizzle with 1 tablespoon water. Cover with plastic wrap; pierce once to vent. Microwave on High until almost tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Unwrap and cool slightly, about 15 minutes (or microwave a day ahead).

Cut potatoes into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes (potatoes will be sticky-starchy).

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes, bell pepper, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper; sauté until browned and tender, about 10 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes.

Stir in scallions; cook 2 minutes.
