\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAnytime I come up with a kitchen hack that will revolutionize your life (like Sheet Pan Pancakes<\/a> or Cooking Bacon in the Oven<\/a> or Freezing Pizza Dough<\/a>), I\u2019m happy to share.<\/p>\n My oven-roasted breakfast potatoes recipe is one of those. Have you ever made fried potatoes before? They\u2019re SO good, but they can take quite a long time\u2026especially if you\u2019re making a lot of potatoes, and it\u2019s really easy to end up with potatoes that are burnt outside and not cooked all the way in the middle. No thank you!<\/p>\n Instead of pulling out all of your skillets and babysitting breakfast, learn how to cook potatoes for breakfast with a whole lot less work!<\/p>\n Making oven roasted hash browns means you get the crispy outside and tender middle of fried potatoes without the work of standing over the stove.<\/p>\n These crispy breakfast potatoes are also great because they\u2019re:<\/p>\n Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400F<\/strong> and line a rimmed baking sheet (this cookie sheet is my favorite<\/a>) with parchment paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step 2. Dice the potatoes<\/strong> so that they\u2019re all about \u00bd\u2033 cubes. Peeling them first is up to you. Spread them evenly in an even layer on parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil<\/a>. You can also toss the potatoes and olive oil in a large bowl<\/a> before pouring them onto the parchment paper.<\/p>\n Step 3. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes, <\/strong>tossing them after 15 minutes.<\/p>\n Step 4. Meanwhile, dice the onion and peppers<\/strong> to the same size as the potatoes.<\/p>\n Step 5. When the 30-minute timer<\/a> goes off, <\/strong>toss the onions and peppers with the potatoes. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the vegetables. Season them liberally with salt and pepper and roast them with the potatoes for another 20 minutes.<\/p>\n Step 6. The potatoes are done <\/strong>when they are mostly golden brown in color and fork tender on the inside.<\/p>\n Storage: <\/strong>Store any leftovers in an airtight container<\/a> in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to keep that crispy texture.<\/p>\n Psst! Parchment paper is the <\/em>cheapest after the holidays<\/em><\/a>. Make sure you pick up a few rolls when it\u2019s the best price!<\/em><\/p>\n A single batch of this breakfast potatoes recipe will feed 2-4 people, depending on how hearty their appetites are. You can easily double, triple, or quadruple this recipe as desired using the same potato-onion-pepper ratio.<\/p>\n The number of baking sheets that can fit in your oven is really the deciding factor here. My oven can fit four, so when I make these breakfast potatoes, I make a quadruple batch, plus an extra potato or two, if I have room.<\/p>\n Making recipes with LOLs (LOTS OF LEFTOVERS) is a key kitchen hack in my <\/em>30 Minute Dinners<\/em><\/a> plans that will save TONS of time in the kitchen, so I always recommend batch cooking to my Crumbs readers! This ensures plenty of potatoes left over for breakfast later in the week, and better yet, more TIME!<\/em><\/p>\n Now that you\u2019ve made multiple batches, you\u2019re probably wondering how to cook breakfast potatoes so they stay perfectly crispy. I have good news and bad news.<\/p>\n The bad news is that It\u2019s impossible to keep those crispy breakfast potatoes crispy after they\u2019ve been in the fridge for a day or two, but\u2026<\/p>\n The good news is that you can re-crisp them up by adding coconut oil to your cast iron skillet<\/a> and reheating them on medium-low for a few minutes.<\/p>\n This is the perfect time to \u201cbeef up\u201d the potatoes by adding sliced mushrooms, cherry tomato halves, fresh garlic, and even shredded cheese for a hearty breakfast bowl, with or without the Best Scrambled Eggs<\/a>!<\/p>\n Side note: If you\u2019ve never fully embraced cast iron cooking, it\u2019s probably because your cast iron skillet isn\u2019t properly seasoned (and I don\u2019t mean salt and pepper). Follow <\/em>my simple tutorial for seasoning cast iron here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n When I make this recipe of potatoes for breakfast, I almost always serve it with eggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Or try breakfast potatoes with one of these other yummy breakfast foods:<\/p>\n In this recipe, you\u2019ll find mostly carbohydrates from the potatoes and fat from the olive oil.<\/p>\n So how do you make a breakfast with potatoes that fits with your nutrition goals?<\/p>\n Pair the breakfast potatoes with protein!<\/p>\n Breakfast potatoes + bacon (or sausage or ham) + eggs = a breakfast skillet that\u2019s tasty and protein-packed. Boost the protein even more by making these Cottage Cheese Eggs<\/a>, which include egg whites and cottage cheese for extra protein without extra fat.<\/p>\n Looking for more ways to increase your protein?

It\u2019s simple, easy, and delicious! The more brown your breakfast potatoes are, the crispier they will be. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning in the last few minutes!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Boiling isn\u2019t necessary for this breakfast potatoes recipe.
