What You’ll Need

To create these delightful Bangin’ Breakfast Potatoes, gather the following simple ingredients:

2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved

1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of paprika (smoked paprika adds a great touch!)
½ teaspoon of onion powder
½ teaspoon of dried rosemary or thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s make it together! Here’s how to whip up a batch of these Bangin’ Breakfast Potatoes in no time:

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will ensure your potatoes turn wonderfully crispy.
Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes and olive oil. Toss them gently to ensure they are well-coated in the shimmering oil.
Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, rosemary or thyme, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Toss once more until the potatoes are thoroughly coated in the spices, filling your kitchen with a cozy aroma.
Bake: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer to ensure they crisp up nicely. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Garnish and Serve: Once perfectly crispy and golden, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy them hot, and watch as your family dives in!

Delicious Variations to Try

While the Bangin’ Breakfast Potatoes are delicious as is, here are some fun ways to customize them:

Cheesy Tomato Twist: Right before removing your potatoes from the oven, sprinkle shredded cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella) and chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top. Return to the oven until the cheese melts.
Spicy Kick: Add finely chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a zesty and spicy version that’ll wake up your taste buds.
Herb Infusion: Experiment with different herbs! Fresh thyme, oregano, or even dill can add a delightful and aromatic twist.
Breakfast Bowl: Top your potatoes with scrambled eggs for a hearty breakfast bowl. Spice it up with avocado slices and a drizzle of sriracha!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make Ahead: Prepare the potatoes the night before by cutting and seasoning them, then storing in the fridge for a quick bake in the morning.
Storage: Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best crispy results.
Slicing Technique: For consistent cooking, ensure your potato halves are similar in size. It helps them cook evenly and achieve that desired crispiness.
