Learn how to make breakfast potatoes that are perfectly golden brown and crispy on the outside while staying tender inside. This easy oven-roasted method uses simple seasonings for a flavorful side dish you will want every morning.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 Celsius). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and crushed rosemary.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss well until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary. This step is key for crispiness.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and use a spatula to flip the potatoes.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are deeply golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as your perfect breakfast potatoes side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispy breakfast potatoes, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them thoroughly. Moisture is the enemy of crisp.
  • If you prefer a skillet breakfast potatoes method, cook them in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring only every 5-7 minutes to allow a crust to form.
  • These are naturally gluten-free breakfast potatoes.
