Breakfast Potatoes Recipe
Description
This Breakfast Potatoes Recipe uses peeled russet potatoes cut into half-inch cubes tossed with olive oil, garlic salt containing parsley flakes, dried parsley, and freshly ground black pepper. The potatoes are arranged on a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked at 400°F for about 20–22 minutes until tender. After baking, switching the oven to broil and cooking a few more minutes promotes a browned, crisp surface.
The texture combines a soft interior from the baking process with a crispy, golden exterior particularly enhanced by the broiling step. The seasoning mixture imparts savory garlic and herb flavors that complement the natural starchiness of the potatoes, making them satisfying and flavorful.
These potatoes serve well as a classic hearty breakfast side or in breakfast burritos and tacos. The recipe includes an alternative skillet method where potatoes are pan-cooked with olive oil and butter, providing a more hands-on approach with occasional tossing for even cooking and crispness.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds russet potato about 4 potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley flakes
- ½ teaspoon parsley dried
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Notes
- The skillet method uses olive oil and butter over medium heat, cooking potatoes 8–10 minutes with occasional tossing.
- Season with garlic salt, parsley, and pepper during skillet cooking for even flavor.
- Breakfast Potatoes are suitable for use in burritos or tacos as a flavorful filling.
