Breakfast Potatoes for Brunch

I love a good brunch and a good brunch HAS to include breakfast potatoes. They are the perfect side to any breakfast meal. Our favorite way to make breakfast potatoes is in the oven. Roasted Breakfast Potatoes are super easy to make and SO good! They are a staple at our house for breakfast, brunch, and really anytime!

Baked Breakfast Potatoes

We are a breakfast potato family and these oven roasted breakfast potatoes are our favorite. They are SO easy to make and are on the healthier side since they are baked in the oven and not fried. Another big bonus, you can make them in ONE pan, so there is less mess.

How to Make Breakfast Potatoes

The roasted red peppers and onions give the potatoes a ton of flavor. They go great with any breakfast…and sometimes we make them for dinner.

  1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, because I am all for easy cleanup.
  2. Toss the red potatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil.
  3. Season the veggies with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Roast the potatoes until they are nice and crispy. Crispy potatoes are a MUST. Sometimes, I even let the potatoes go a little longer so they are slightly burnt around the edges. The burnt potatoes are my favorite. You can cook them to whatever doneness you like, but trust me, you want them crispy!

We like to serve the potatoes hot with ketchup. You can also spice them up with your favorite hot sauce or salsa. They are SO good!

You can serve the breakfast potatoes with:

  • French Toast
  • Breakfast Casserole
  • Belgian Waffles
  • Banana Pancakes
  • Cinnamon Rolls
