There’s something undeniably satisfying about a plate of golden, crispy breakfast potatoes. Whether you’re making a hearty weekend brunch or just need a quick side for your eggs, these perfectly seasoned potatoes hit the spot. The contrast of crispy edges and soft, fluffy centers makes every bite irresistible.
This recipe is all about simple ingredients and bold flavors. Yukon Gold potatoes provide a creamy texture, while a touch of paprika, sea salt, and black pepper add just the right amount of warmth and spice. Roasting them in olive oil ensures a crisp exterior, making them taste just like diner-style home fries—only better.
What makes this dish even more appealing? It’s incredibly versatile and healthy. Potatoes are a great source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, making them a nutritious addition to your morning routine.
Plus, they’re naturally gluten-free and can be easily customized with fresh herbs or your favorite seasoning blend. Pair these potatoes with a light and refreshing Cucumber Avocado Salad or a sweet, juicy Fruit Cocktail Salad for a well-balanced breakfast. The best part? They require minimal effort but deliver maximum flavor.
