Breakfast Potatoes
Description
Breakfast Potatoes features peeled and diced russet potatoes mixed with small diced red and green bell peppers. The potatoes are coated in olive oil and a seasoning blend including garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Roasting at 400°F for 20 to 30 minutes makes the potatoes tender with a golden crust. Adding cooked, chopped bacon over the top before serving contributes a rich, smoky flavor and extra texture contrast. Garnishing with fresh Italian parsley brightens the dish visually and in taste.
The texture balances a crisp outside on the potatoes and the softness inside, combined with the sweet, slightly crunchy bell peppers. This combination makes for a satisfying, flavorful breakfast side.
This recipe pairs well with eggs or a breakfast protein and can be served immediately after roasting. Leftovers can be kept refrigerated and reheated, maintaining their taste and texture.
Prepping the peppers and seasonings ahead can save time, but it’s advisable to dice potatoes just before roasting to avoid browning. Bacon is optional but recommended for additional flavor; it can be cooked in the oven simultaneously or in a skillet.
