Breakfast Potatoes {Crispy Oven Baked}
Description
This recipe starts with large red potatoes cut into slightly over half-inch cubes. They are coated evenly with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Baking begins at 450°F on a non-stick sprayed rimmed baking sheet, allowing the potatoes to cook through and absorb the spices. After an initial 15 minutes, the potatoes are tossed and baked 15 minutes longer to become tender internally.
The last step is broiling about 2 to 5 minutes on both sides to develop crisp, golden edges, creating a contrast between the tender centers and crunchy exteriors. The broiler method requires close attention to avoid burning and ensures a finishing texture not achieved by baking alone.
This side is suited for serving warm alongside eggs, bacon, or other breakfast foods. The seasoning blend is simple but effective, adding savory and slightly smoky notes without overpowering the natural potato taste. The method delivers rustic, homestyle breakfast potatoes with a crisp finish.
