    I could live only on potatoes; I LOVE them! Breakfast potatoes are my favorite ones, as they're so crispy and full of flavor. And they are much healthier than the fried ones too!

    I've been making these baked potatoes a lot lately and not only for breakfast but also as a side dish for lunch and dinner. They are great to be served with vegan protein like seitan and you can also bake some veggies at the same time.

    Besides, this is a very versatile recipe and you can customize it with your favorite spices and herbs. Feel free to add a little bit of lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or even any sauce you can think of!

    Breakfast potatoes, a simple, delicious, and affordable recipe. To make it you only need 7 ingredients and 30 minutes of your time. It's a super healthy dish perfect for the whole family!

    How to make breakfast potatoes - Step by step

    Step-by-step photos of how to make breakfast potatoes
    • Preheat the oven to 400ºF or 200ºC.
    • Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl (photo 1) and mix until well combined (photo 2).
    • Place the potatoes onto a lined baking sheet (photo 3) and bake for 20-30 minutes or until soft and golden brown (photo 4).
    • Serve your breakfast potatoes immediately.

    Pro tips

    • You don't need to peel the potatoes if you don't want to, especially if you use organic potatoes.
    • Feel free to use any kind of potatoes.
    • I recommend you make your own Italian seasoning at home because it's a simple recipe and more affordable than the store-bought ones.
    • You can customize your breakfast potatoes recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices. You could also add fresh parsley or any other fresh herb just before serving.
    • I normally use Himalayan pink salt, although you can use any type of salt.
    • You could also replace garlic powder for fresh garlic or onion powder.
    • If you don't want to use the oven to make this breakfast potatoes recipe just steam the potatoes until soft and place them in a skillet with all the remaining ingredients. Then mix until well combined and sautée them until golden brown.

    What to eat with breakfast potatoes

    You can eat these potatoes as part of a vegan brunch consisting of fresh fruit, vegan butter, and homemade jelly toasts, tofu scramble, and natural orange juice or coffee.

    On the other hand, you can also serve them with baked veggies and your favorite spices and herbs, or with sauces like vegan mayo, healthy ketchup, barbecue sauce, vegan aioli, and vegan sour cream.

    Another option is serving your breakfast potatoes with any vegan meat substitute like seitan or tempeh bacon.

    How long will these breakfast potatoes keep?

    I recommend you serve and eat these potatoes immediately for a better texture and flavor. However, you can also keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.

    Can I make breakfast potatoes without oil?

    Of course! If you're oil-free, this breakfast potatoes recipe will work just as well. Just omit the oil or use any other liquid instead, like lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or vegetable stock.

      eaasy to dom I used both red and yellow skin potatoes, omitted some ingredients ( the paprika), reduced the cook time and amount of potatoes used, and they still turned out well. Eat them plain as a purist.

      Made this for a Father’s Day brunch today and I’m always nervous when I try a new recipe. Both my husband and I are vegan and for some reason non vegans think vegan food is “odd” but everyone loved the potato dish and there were no leftovers.This will be my go to potato recipe at family events. Thanks!!!

      These were great! Very easy and they baked in the oven while everything else was getting done. I'm giving a 4 star because when I asked my kids if they would eat them if I make them again they said yes. Then I asked would they request them again and they said probably not. So I will make them again no doubt. I will probably fool around with the seasoning. Also they didn't crisp up...

      These were really lovely, thanks Losune! 🙂 I've now made them a couple of times. I substituted the paprika with pul beber one time. But, they really are so simple & delicious. I've served them with a side of halved cherry plum tomatoes & sliced avocado for a filling breakfast. I get potatoes in my veg bag delivery every week & am always on the lookout for new potato ideas & these will definitely be a regular dish for me from now on.

      Made these last night and they were super delicious. I am crazy about potatoes like you but even my husband was crazy about these! I think the seasoning would also work great for oven french fries. At any rate we are having the left overs with hamburgers tonight and I can't wait to make them again.

      P.S. This is the second recipe I have tried from your site and I'm hooked now!

        Hi Georganne! I've never heard about coconut essence before, sorry!
        I guess you can't have shredded coconut... Our coconut milk is delicious and so easy to make: https://simpleveganblog.com/coconut-milk/ Have a nice day!
