Make breakfast potatoes that are perfectly golden and crispy every time. This simple oven-roasted recipe uses common spices to create a flavorful side dish ideal for weekend brunch or quick weekday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh onion, diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. If you want extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Drying is key for crispness.
  3. In the bowl with the dry potatoes, add the avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with oil and spices.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure they roast instead of steam.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  8. If using, toss the potatoes with the diced fresh onion during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  9. Serve your golden brown potatoes immediately with eggs or your favorite breakfast items.

Notes

  • For the crispiest breakfast potatoes, ensure the potatoes are completely dry before adding oil and seasoning. Excess moisture prevents browning.
  • If you prefer skillet breakfast potatoes, cook them in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring only every 5-7 minutes to allow a crust to form on the bottom.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and can easily be made vegan by confirming your oil choice.
