Learn the simple secrets to making perfectly crispy breakfast potatoes every time. These oven-roasted potatoes are golden brown on the outside, tender inside, and packed with garlic and paprika flavor. They are the ideal quick side dish for your weekend brunch or weekday breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado 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 chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. For extra crispiness, soak the potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels. This step removes starch and helps them crisp.
  3. In the same bowl, toss the dry potatoes with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
  4. Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Toss well until all the seasonings adhere to the potatoes.
  5. 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.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan 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 breakfast potatoes are deeply golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately alongside your eggs or favorite breakfast items.

Notes

  • For the crispiest results, make sure your potatoes are completely dry before adding the oil and seasonings. Moisture prevents browning.
  • If you prefer a skillet method, use a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook in batches, ensuring the potatoes have contact with the hot surface for at least 5 minutes before stirring to build a crust.
  • These flavorful morning potatoes are naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
