Description

Crispy on the edges and tender inside, these easy breakfast potatoes are oven-roasted to golden perfection. With smoky paprika, olive oil, and a sprinkle of parsley, theyโ€™re a cozy morning staple and the perfect sidekick to any brunch plate.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled or scrubbed, cut into even 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons extra-light olive oil
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt, fine grain
  • 1/3 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons paprika, sweet or smoked
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ยฐF. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  2. Peel (if desired) and cut potatoes into even ยฝ-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, drizzle potatoes with olive oil and toss until coated.
  4. Sprinkle with salt, paprika, and black pepper. Toss again to evenly season.
  5. Spread potatoes on baking sheet in a single layer with space between pieces.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until fork-tender.
  7. Remove, flip potatoes, and switch oven to broil. Return to oven for a few minutes to crispโ€”watch closely.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley, if using, and serve hot.


Notes

Leave skins on for extra crisp texture. Use high-smoke-point oils like avocado if preferred. Pat potatoes dry to ensure crisping. Store leftovers in fridge up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
