Follow this simple method to make perfectly crispy, golden brown breakfast potatoes using the oven. This recipe focuses on technique to achieve maximum crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
  2. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. Cover them completely with cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch.
  3. Drain the potatoes completely. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and pat them completely dry. Moisture prevents crisping.
  4. In the bowl, toss the dry potatoes with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and onion powder until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and use a spatula to flip the potatoes.
  8. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are deeply golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, place the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats to get the pan hot before adding the potatoes.
  • Russet potatoes work best for crisping due to their high starch content.
  • If you prefer skillet potatoes, cook them in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring you do not stir them for the first 8-10 minutes to allow a crust to form.
