OVEN ROASTED BREAKFAST POTATOES
OVEN ROASTED BREAKFAST POTATOES
Perfectly seasoned and roasted breakfast potatoes topped with sweet caramelized onions, bacon pieces, and topped off with fresh herbs!
I love breakfast foods, of all kinds! As a kid, breakfast for dinner was one of my favorite meals to have… and it still is today The next time you’re thinking of what to have alongside your eggs or sausage, try these breakfast potatoes. Perfectly seasoned and roasted red-skin potatoes topped with caramelized onions, crispy bacon and fresh herbs. The perfect side dish for breakfast!
Usually I prefer hashbrown potatoes, due to some “home fries” not being cooked all the way through (I’m picky about my potatoes lol)… but these are the perfect combination of crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside. Not to mention the fantastic seasonings on these potatoes. Smoked paprika is the star of this recipe!
The smoked paprika is what gives these potatoes a golden color. If you haven’t tried smoked paprika yet, you should It’s, well, smoky (I’m sure you’re just so surprised….), but seriously, it’s a smoky sweet spice that brings an earthiness and depth of flavor to this dish.
These breakfast potatoes aren’t just incredibly tasty, they’re incredibly simple to make. What’s not to love about that?
YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS FOR THE PREPARATION HERE…
Option 1 – Cook 5-6 slices of bacon in a skillet (or bake in the oven), and save the rendered bacon grease. Use that saved bacon grease as the “oil” in the recipe, so the onions and potatoes are coated in bacon grease and roasted. Crumble bacon and add once potatoes are done cooking.
Option 2 – Coat the potatoes and onions in olive oil and roast. Cook bacon separately and add once potatoes are done cooking.
I chose the bacon grease option, because well, I just love that extra bacon flavor. But it’s not the healthiest option, so if you’d prefer, go with option 2
Regardless of which option you go with, dice up your potatoes (the recipe calls for red-skin potatoes, but yukon gold or even sweet potatoes would be great too), dice your onion, mince your rosemary and add to a large bowl. Add your smoked paprika, dried thyme and salt and pepper. Now add whichever “oil” you choose (olive oil or bacon grease) and toss to coat all the potatoes. Spread out potatoes in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (the kind with a rim). Pop them in the oven and you’re done! Just toss the potatoes halfway through cooking. No babysitting, minimal effort, just set the timer and go relax
Once your potatoes are done roasting, top them with some minced fresh rosemary and thyme (optional but recommended).
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself reaching for seconds… or thirds. I won’t judge you… in fact, I’ll be right there, fork in hand, grabbing more servings myself
These don’t have to be a strictly breakfast potato dish… if you’d like, make them a side dish for dinner They’d go perfectly with just about any meal. I think the next time I make these I’m going to try making them with half red-skin potatoes and half sweet potatoes
