Create perfectly golden, crispy breakfast potatoes every time. This oven-roasted recipe delivers a tender inside and a flavorful, crunchy exterior using simple garlic and paprika seasoning. It is an easy, reliable side dish for your morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive 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
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon 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. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again until every piece is well coated.
  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 promote crisping.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, add the minced garlic, and gently toss the potatoes.
  7. Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are deeply golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as your perfect side dish for eggs or bacon.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely. Moisture prevents crisping.
  • If you prefer a skillet method, cook the potatoes in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring only every 5-7 minutes to allow a crust to form on the bottom.
  • These are excellent for meal prep; reheat them in a 400°F oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispness.
