Martha Stewart Breakfast Potatoes Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How To Make Martha Stewart Breakfast Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). A high temperature is essential for getting the potatoes crispy.
2. Combine and season: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and chopped red bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat everything evenly.
3. Add the spices: Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chopped rosemary over the potato mixture. Toss again until the potatoes and vegetables are well-seasoned.
4. Arrange for roasting: Spread the potato mixture in a single, even layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will steam the potatoes instead of roasting them.
5. Roast to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly on all sides. They are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
6. Garnish and serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven, transfer them to a serving dish, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while hot.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: For the crispiest potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet with some space between them. This allows hot air to circulate and roast them properly. Use two pans if necessary.
• Choose the Right Potato: Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal for this recipe because their waxy texture helps them hold their shape, and their insides become creamy and soft when roasted.
• Soak for Extra Crispiness: For even crispier results, you can soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This removes excess starch. Just be sure to dry them thoroughly before tossing with oil and seasonings.
• High Heat is Key: Roasting at a high temperature like 425°F (220°C) is crucial. This high heat helps the outside of the potatoes get crispy quickly while the inside stays fluffy.

What To Serve Breakfast Potatoes

These breakfast potatoes are a versatile side dish that pairs perfectly with classic breakfast and brunch foods. Serve them alongside fluffy scrambled eggs, fried eggs, or a savory omelet. They are also a wonderful accompaniment to bacon, sausage links, or ham. For a complete plate, add a side of fresh avocado slices and a piece of buttered toast.

How To Store Breakfast Potatoes Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy again.
• Freeze: We do not recommend freezing these potatoes, as the texture can become mushy and watery upon thawing.
