Oven Roasted Breakfast Potatoes
Description
The Oven Roasted Breakfast Potatoes recipe combines chopped red potatoes with diced yellow onion and savory fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme, alongside smoked paprika for a subtle smoky depth. Tossed in bacon grease or olive oil, they roast on a tray until crispy on the outside and tender inside. Adding crumbled, cooked bacon on top provides contrasting smoky crunch and a savory finish. The fresh herb garnish brings brightness to the dish. Roasting at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes while tossing halfway ensures even cooking and browning. This recipe works well as a breakfast or brunch side that balances soft and crisp textures with rich, herby flavors.
