Copycat IHOP Crispy Breakfast Potatoes
Description
This recipe involves washing, peeling, and dicing white potatoes into ½-inch cubes, then mixing them with finely diced white onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. The vegetables are coated evenly with olive oil and seasoned with a blend of garlic salt, paprika, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper for heat. The seasoned mix is spread onto a greased sheet pan and baked at 425°F, tossed periodically to prevent burning and encourage even browning. Cooking can be extended or temperature increased for extra crispiness.
The potatoes develop a crisp golden crust with tender interiors, enhanced by the combined spices and vegetables. This dish is versatile, suitable to accompany eggs, breakfast meats, or even sweet dishes like pancakes and French toast.
For storage, these potatoes keep up to three days refrigerated and can be reheated in a microwave, oven, or air fryer. Serving ideas include pairing with breakfast items or using them as a flavorful base with sauces or eggs.
Ingredients
- 4 cups potatoes white
- ½ cup white onion
- ½ cup red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp jalapeño diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp paprika
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease your sheet pan.
- Wash, peel, and dice white potatoes into ½” cubes. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
- Finely dice the white onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno. Mix with the potatoes in the mixing bowl. Pour the oil over the vegetables and coat evenly.
- Combine garlic salt, paprika, and pepper in a pinch bowl. Sprinkle evenly onto the vegetables.
- Pour the seasoned potatoes onto a sheet pan. Feel free to add a few more crackers of salt and pepper. I know some people love salt :P
- Cook for 40-45 minutes at 425°F on the middle rack. Toss 2-3 times while baking to ensure there is no burning. Towards the end, you can crank the heat up to 450°F or 475°F to get your potatoes EXTRA crispy and golden.
- Serve as an epic side dish or even as a base with fried eggs and veggies. ENJOY!
Notes
- Store cooked potatoes in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave, oven on broil while rotating frequently, or air fryer to regain crispiness.
- These potatoes pair well with eggs, breakfast meats, pancakes, or French toast; dipping them in syrup when served with sweet dishes adds a unique contrast.
- For extra crispiness, increase oven temperature towards the end of cooking and toss frequently to avoid burning.
