Ingredients

5-6 potatoes – Yukon golds, red, or russet potatoes
1/2 onion
bell pepper, any color
extra virgin olive oil
seasoned salt (I like Lawry’s)
kosher salt
black pepper
paprika
onion powder
garlic powder

Step by step

Wash and pat dry the potatoes.
Cut the potatoes in half, then into 1-inch cubes, and place them in a bowl.
Slice the peppers and onions, then add them to the bowl.
Pour olive oil over everything and add all the seasonings.
Use your hands to toss everything together, then transfer to a baking dish.
Cover with foil and bake at 400°F for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Slow Cooker Instructions: To make these in the crock pot cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.

Tips for best results

Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Don’t overcrowd the baking dish to allow even cooking.
Toss the potatoes halfway through baking for uniform crispiness.

Variations

To mix the flavors up, try adding different vegetables like chopped zucchini or sliced mushrooms.

You can also experiment with various spices or fresh herbs such as cumin, chili powder, thyme, rosemary, or parsley to give the potatoes a different taste. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.

Serving suggestions

These breakfast potatoes (oven baked) are a versatile side dish that pairs well with many breakfast favorites. Here are some ideas you can also try:

a hearty omelet, scrambled eggs or fried eggs
crispy bacon, candied bacon, homemade corned beef hash, or sausage links
fresh fruit for a balanced meal
top with avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream

Storage

Store any leftover oven baked potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through. You can also reheat them in a skillet. This helps retain their crispiness.

Alternatively, you can reheat them in a microwave, but they will have a softer result.
