Smoky Roasted Breakfast Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts by dicing russet potatoes and onions into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. The vegetables are tossed in olive oil along with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, providing a balanced smoky and savory seasoning. Roasting on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F, with stirring every 20 minutes, encourages crisp edges and thorough caramelization over about 40 to 60 minutes, depending on size and desired doneness.
The finished potatoes have a flavorful golden crust while remaining soft inside, accented by the sweetness of roasted onions and the distinct aroma from smoked paprika. These potatoes serve well alongside eggs or other breakfast dishes and can be enjoyed with ketchup or preferred condiments.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. russet potato $1.08
- 1 yellow onion $0.32
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.32
- 1 tsp smoked paprika $0.10
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder $0.05
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
- black pepper $0.03, freshly cracked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Wash the potatoes well, then dice them into 1/2 to 3/4-inch cubes. Dice the onion into similar sized pieces.
- Add the diced potato and onion to a large bowl along with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper (10-15 cranks of a pepper mill). Toss the potatoes until they are well coated in oil and spices.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes and onions out over the parchment so they are in a single layer.
- Roast the potatoes for 40-60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until they are brown and crispy. Total cooking time will depend on the size of your potato pieces and your personal preference for how brown and crispy you like your potatoes. Taste, and add additional salt if needed.
- Serve hot, with ketchup if desired.
