Learn the simple technique to make perfectly crispy breakfast potatoes every time. These oven-roasted potatoes are golden brown, tender inside, and seasoned with garlic and paprika for a flavorful side dish perfect for any morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 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 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. If you want extra crispiness, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain them completely and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. This step removes surface starch.
  3. In the bowl with the dried potatoes, add the avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  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. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are deeply golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as a perfect side dish for eggs or bacon.

Notes

  • For the best results, ensure your potatoes are completely dry before adding oil and seasoning. Moisture prevents crisping.
  • If you prefer skillet breakfast potatoes, use a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook in batches if needed to maintain high heat and achieve a good sear.
  • These potatoes are excellent for meal prep. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in a 400°F oven to restore crispness.
