Achieve perfectly golden, crispy breakfast potatoes every time using this simple oven-roasting method. These potatoes are tender inside, seasoned with garlic and smoked paprika, making them the best savory side dish for any morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the avocado oil.
  3. Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated in the oil and spices.
  4. 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.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Add the minced garlic and toss the potatoes well.
  7. Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are deep golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  8. Serve immediately as a savory breakfast side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely. Excess surface moisture prevents browning.
  • If you prefer a skillet method, use medium-high heat and cook in batches, ensuring the potatoes have space to brown rather than steam.
  • These make excellent make-ahead potatoes; reheat them in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispness.
