I always, ALWAYS eat my breakfast potatoes with ketchup. Or should I say I have ketchup with a side of breakfast potatoes? I can’t help that I love ketchup so much, I think I was born that way.
By the way, Trader Joe’s makes my favorite ketchup BY FAR. What’s your go-to brand?
Growing up, my mom always used to tell me I was ruining her potatoes whenever I doused them with ketchup. I told her it made them that much better.
It was pretty common for her to serve us breakfast potatoes on the weekends. In fact, I think my brother and I lived for them. They were heavily flavored and bright orange from all the delicious spices in there. My mom often made them with sazon spices and in a skillet, and to this day I still dream of their deliciousness. In fact, every time I see her I request her breakfast potatoes with over-medium eggs and creamy, ripe avocado and a side of my beloved ketchup.
These potatoes are my own version of mom’s classic breakfast potato recipes.
They’re drizzled with olive oil, then coated in garlic powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika and cayenne. Add a little salt and pepper, then roast them to crispy, delicious perfection in the oven!
I hope you get a chance to make these beautiful, crispy oven-roasted breakfast potatoes soon. You’re going to love them.
Dip them in whatever sauce your heart desires. Obviously, I vote ketchup.

I love a large dollop of ketchup with my potatoes too. It has to be good ketchup though. I’ve gotten picky as I’ve aged. Looking forward to trying these for Christmas morning. I’ll top mine with a couple of poached eggs.
I like the combo of spices in these!! Breakfast potatoes are always a hit!!
I’ve made it previously and they were delish but my husband was working making it again this Sunday I know he’ll love it. thanks, it’s super simple
Perfect! Enjoy 🙂
Primal Kitchen ketchup is my jam! No sugar added. ❤️
Yum!
So delicious!!
Totally agree. These would be delicious with poached eggs!
Breakfast potatoes used to be my absolute favorite. Now I prefer to use butternut squash, sweet potato, kabocha squash, parsnips, or purple potatoes! I definitely will try this recipe but will use different types of root vegetables for experimentation. But you can’t go wrong with dipping these potatoes in ketchup and spicy chili sauce! Best breakfast side in the world!
Love root veggies for breakfast, too 🙂
The absolute best breakfast potatoes! I’ve made these the past 4 weekends in a row … so simple and tasty! Thank you so much for a new fav!!
So happy to hear that! Love these for weekend brunch.
Getting ready to make this recipe while my date from LAST night sleeps IN LOL 😂🤣 😂! Let’s just hope my fire alarm doesn’t go off. Thanks for this share I can’t wait to try the recipe. I will definitely let you know how they turn out. I would like to say, however, I enjoyed the story behind these delicious looking ‘taters’! 🤞🤗😍🤔🤲🙏🏿

When you first bake the potatoes for 20 minutes before you crank up the heat, at what temperature to bake them first?
