I don’t think I need to sell you too hard on a breakfast potato. Who doesn’t love a crispy-edged potato with a soft, creamy interior? That’s right—no one!
Even if you need to skip parboiling, these potatoes are perfectly crispy. Plus, they go with everything, because you can customize them to almost any breakfast (and beyond!). Swap out the spices, use a different cooking fat, sprinkle with different herbs, or add a little cheese—just keep the technique the same and you’ll get that signature crunch every time.
Why You’ll Love My Breakfast Potatoes
-
You can make them extra-crunchy, if you want! Take the extra step to par-boil the potatoes and rough up the edges for the crispiest, craggiest edges (they’re still delicious without this step if you’re short on time).
-
They’re the perfect side, any time. Whether you have them for breakfast, breakfast-for-dinner, or any meal in between, a crunchy spiced potato is always welcome.

Potatoes: For buttery and creamy potatoes, start with Yukon Gold potatoes. They’re less starchy than russets, and yield a more concentrated flavor and creamier texture.
-
Spices: A combination of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and optional chili powder form a flavorful crust on the outsides of the potatoes.
-
Fat: Use olive oil, melted butter, rendered bacon fat, or any fat you like to add flavor and help the potatoes crisp up.
