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 morning side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. If you want extra crispy results, soak the potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels. This step removes surface starch.
  3. In the bowl, drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled potatoes. Toss again until all the potatoes are evenly seasoned.
  6. Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary. Crowding causes steaming, which prevents crispiness.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and use a spatula to flip the potatoes. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are deep golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as a flavorful breakfast potato side dish.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure your potatoes are completely dry before adding oil and seasoning.
  • Do not skip flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking; this ensures even browning on all sides.
  • 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.
