For the Potatoes
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes Russet potatoes can be a good substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Feel free to swap with any neutral oil.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds a sweet, peppery note.
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano Use as desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Avoid fresh garlic burning.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust according to preference.

  • 2 tablespoons Chives Optional but recommended.

Equipment

  • large pot
  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling or thoroughly washing your Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into uniform large cubes, about 1-2 inches in size.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the cubed potatoes and cook them for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
  3. Transfer the drained potatoes to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Gently toss the potatoes until each cube is evenly coated.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they achieve a golden brown color and crispy edges.
  6. Once baked, transfer the crispy breakfast potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle chopped chives on top just before serving.

Notes

Ensure potato cubes are cut evenly for consistent cooking, and let them steam after boiling to enhance crispiness. Room for customization with seasonings and avoid overcrowding on the baking sheet.
