You’ll absolutely love this breakfast potatoes recipe — it truly is our go-to!

The Key to the Best Breakfast Potatoes

The key to getting potatoes that are crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside is baking them at a higher temperature, flipping them part way through, and finishing them off with a broil. My mouth is salivating just typing this.

Breakfast Potato Ingredients

Though breakfast potatoes are pretty simple to make, having the right ingredients on hand and understanding how to use those ingredients is so important to get the perfect crispy breakfast potato. You’ll need:

The Potato: We used Idaho potatoes because they are a bit softer in the middle and we absolutely love them. Feel free to use red potatoes, sweet potatoes, or fingerling potatoes — any tater you have on hand will taste great.

The key (no matter which potato variety you use), is to cut them small enough that they will cook all the way through!

+ bell pepper & onion: We also sliced up a red bell pepper and white onion to pair with these breakfast potatoes. This flavor combo can’t be beat!

The Seasoning: The last thing you want is a bland batch of breakfast potatoes. We used a combination of Italian seasoning + garlic powder + paprika + salt and pepper, but, feel free to use whatever spice mix you would like. We like to make sure that breakfast potatoes are fully coated with spices, not only for flavor but for crunch too!

The Oil: Don’t be scared of the amount of oil you use! Making sure each potato is coated with whatever oil you use is crucial to a golden brown crispy breakfast potato. We love using olive oil for our breakfast potatoes, however, feel free to use your favorite oil!
