Make perfectly crispy breakfast potatoes with a fluffy interior using simple seasonings like garlic and paprika. This oven-roasted side dish is easy to prepare for any morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. For extra crispness, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels. This step is key for golden brown potatoes.
  3. In the bowl, toss the dry potatoes with olive 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.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again until every piece is well coated.
  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 promote crisping.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan and flip the potatoes.
  8. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  9. Serve immediately as a savory breakfast side dish.

Notes

  • For the best results and maximum crispiness, make sure the potatoes are completely dry before adding oil and seasoning.
  • If you prefer a skillet method, cook the potatoes in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes total.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped onion during the last 15 minutes of roasting for extra flavor.
