These crispy, seasoned breakfast potatoes are a perfect side dish to start your day. Made with Yukon gold potatoes, bell peppers, and onions, tossed in olive oil and flavorful spices, then baked to golden perfection. Easy to prepare and packed with savory goodness.
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into ½-inch pieces (no need to peel)
- 1 red or green bell pepper, chopped into ½-inch pieces
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped into ½-inch pieces
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425° F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean up easier.
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, place the chopped potatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well to coat all the pieces evenly with oil.
- Season the vegetables: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Toss again thoroughly so all pieces are coated with the spices.
- Bake the potatoes: Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, making sure to toss the potatoes about halfway through (after 20 minutes) to ensure even browning and crispiness. The potatoes should be golden and crispy when done.
- Serve immediately: Remove from the oven and serve these delicious breakfast potatoes right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Yukon gold potatoes are ideal for roasting due to their creamy texture and ability to crisp up nicely without drying out.
- You can customize this recipe by adding other vegetables like diced zucchini or mushrooms.
- If you prefer spicy potatoes, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- For a lower sodium version, reduce the salt amount or omit it.
