Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado 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
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. For extra crispiness, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain completely and pat them very dry with paper towels. This step removes starch and promotes crisping.
- In the bowl, toss the dry potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss again until every piece is well coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure they roast, not steam.
- Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula.
- Return to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the breakfast potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as a quick breakfast side dish.
Notes
- For the best results, ensure your potatoes are completely dry before adding oil and seasoning. Moisture prevents crisping.
- If you prefer skillet breakfast potatoes, cook them 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 gluten free breakfast potatoes are excellent for meal prep; reheat them in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes to restore crispness.
