You deserve breakfast potatoes that are golden, tender inside, and perfectly crispy outside every single time. This easy oven-roasted recipe uses simple seasonings to create the best breakfast potato side dish for your weekend brunch or quick weekday meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil (or other high-heat 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 parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 Celsius). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. For the best crispiness, soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain them completely and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step removes excess starch and is key to getting golden brown potatoes.
  3. In the same bowl, toss the dry potatoes with the avocado oil until they are evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the oiled potatoes and toss again until every piece has flavor.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large, rimmed 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 from the oven and use a spatula to flip the potatoes.
  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 on the edges.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle immediately with fresh parsley, and serve your flavorful morning potatoes hot alongside your eggs or bacon.

Notes

  • For extra crispy breakfast potatoes, consider parboiling the cubed potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes before drying and seasoning them.
  • If you prefer skillet breakfast potatoes, cook them in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring only every 5-7 minutes to allow a crust to form.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegan; it makes a great base for a breakfast casserole or loaded potato bake.
