You deserve breakfast potatoes that are golden, crispy on the outside, and tender inside every single time! Follow this simple oven-roasted method for flavorful morning potatoes that pair perfectly with eggs or any brunch spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon 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 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 crispy results, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels. This step removes surface starch.
  3. In the bowl, toss the dry potatoes with olive oil and avocado oil until evenly coated.
  4. In a small separate bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss again until every piece is coated with flavor.
  6. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to guarantee crisping.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan and carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula.
  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. These are a fantastic alternative to relying on meal planning services for your weekend side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of diced onion during the last 15 minutes of roasting.
  • If you are looking into options like the sous-vide precision cooker for other meals, remember that high, dry heat is key for potato crispiness.
  • If you are tracking calories, these potatoes are a great base for a healthy breakfast, unlike some heavy options from meal delivery companies.
