Healthier Homemade Roasted Breakfast Potatoes

Crispy potatoes first thing in the morning? I’ll take 2 orders please. These Roasted Breakfast Potatoes are so much better than that greasy stuff you get at a restaurant, and so easy, you’re gonna have to try hard to mess it up! 

Roasted potatoes vs a side salad with that omelette order? Even thought I really don’t want to, I still pick the stupid salad. That too with the dressing on the side.

And then I see the those beautiful golden pieces come in the plate in front of whoever I’m brunching with, and mentally drool for a good second or two. But that also gives me a good look at all the oil thats on there and sometimes even slathered on dish itself. That makes me realize actually I made the better choice – for my insides at least.

Since I can’t get what I want out there, I just make my own at home. Toss chopped potatoes in just a tad bit of olive oil with some fresh peppers and onions, season and bake.

They turn out just like the real deal – crispy and brown on the outside but soft and tender on the inside.

My favorite is to season them to that smoky paprika flavor, but a combination of rosemary and thyme does come pretty close.
