Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Grab a large baking sheet and give it a quick spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Dump your diced potatoes onto the baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle on salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on the sheet.
Pop the baking sheet in the oven. Let the potatoes roast for about 20 minutes, then give them a stir.
Keep roasting and stirring every 20 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside. This usually takes 40-60 minutes total.
Once they’re done, take them out of the oven. If you want, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley or cilantro on top for extra flavor.
Serve your crispy breakfast potatoes hot and enjoy!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Want super crispy potatoes? Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up nicely.
Don’t overcrowd the pan! Give your potatoes space to brown evenly. Cook in batches if needed.
Parboiling the potatoes for a few minutes before frying can speed up the cooking process.
Try adding different spices to change up the flavor. Rosemary, cumin, or chili powder can add a tasty twist.
Got leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a bit of oil to restore crispiness.
For meal prep, you can parboil potatoes and store them in the fridge. When ready to eat, just finish frying them up for a quick breakfast.
Frozen diced potatoes work in a pinch, but fresh will give you the best texture and flavor.
Don’t forget to season! Salt and pepper are key for tasty breakfast potatoes.
