Breakfast Potatoes

These oven roasted breakfast potatoes are simple, quick, and uncommonly satisfying. Tossed with a generous amount of olive oil and then thoughtfully seasoned, they make the perfect accompaniment to almost any morning main. Breakfast potatoes are truly a beloved staple in my kitchen. And the secret to their irresistibility? It's in a spice jar. A good sprinkle of garlic granules adds both flavor and texture.

Equipment

  • rimmed metal baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 pound small Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic granules (not powder)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400℉.
  • Cut the potatoes into roughly even sized pieces, quartering the larger ones and halving the small ones.
  • Place the potato pieces in a bowl and add the olive oil, garlic granules, salt, and pepper. Then toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
  • Spread the potatoes onto a rimmed metal baking sheet, leaving plenty of space in between each piece. (For easier clean up, line the pan with a sheet of parchment paper first.)
  • Roast the potatoes about 30 minutes, or until fork tender and beautifully golden and crisp on the outside.
