Ingredients
To make red breakfast potatoes, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 2 pounds of red potatoes (such as redskin or Yukon Gold)
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 1 tablespoon of paprika
– 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
– Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika or chili powder for extra flavor
Instructions
1. Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. This can be done using a potato peeler or by cutting them into wedges. Make sure the pieces are evenly sized for even cooking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients together until they form a paste.
3. Add the potato pieces to the bowl and toss them gently to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture. Ensure that all sides of the potatoes are covered with the seasoning.
4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well.
5. Once the baking sheet is hot, spread the seasoned potato pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them crisp up nicely.
6. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly.
7. Optional: If you’d like to add a bit of smokiness or heat to your potatoes, sprinkle them with smoked paprika or chili powder during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
8. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot as a side dish or alongside your favorite breakfast items.
Conclusion
Red breakfast potatoes are a delightful and simple way to add flavor to your morning meal. With minimal effort and a few basic ingredients, you can enjoy these crispy, flavorful spuds that will complement any breakfast dish. So why not give them a try and start your day off right?
