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’! 🤞🤗😍🤔🤲🙏🏿
Haha perfect!! Hope you loved them 🙂
These are soooo yum !!! I’m obsessed with all thing potatoes & this is by far my favorite recipe
Also, shout out to Mandy from Alabama –
These potatoes should have that man proposing to you !
Love that!!
When you first bake the potatoes for 20 minutes before you crank up the heat, at what temperature to bake them first?
425 🙂 Just check the recipe instructions!
great for brunch!!
Delicious crispy potatoes! I left mine to cook for a full 50 min at the 425 and loved the texture. Also, the full 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper was a little strong for me on my first batch so I only put in a 1/8 tsp the second time and prefer them just a little bit more for breakfast but if you like spice-keep the full amount! Would recommend and will be making again!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
Good stuff! My husband who is not a potato fan liked it too! I had wondered if the spices would be too much but I think it was just right. I did light hand the cayene pepper though for my littles. Thanks for a delicious recipe and one that’s baked too!
Amazing! Glad these were a hit 🙂
Muy Buenos! Gracias,
Glad you enjoyed!
The spice mix on this is perfect and they turn out so crispy!
So good! I love these for every meal 🙂
Wonderful!!! I always have a hard time getting my potato s crispy but these turned out perfect!!!
Amazing! I’m glad you found this recipe 🙂
Loved these potatoes. They were fast and easy to prepare. Used parchment paper and they came out crispy and not sticking to the pan, so I didn’t use the spray nor did I flip them halfway. Dellllllicious!
Perfect! So glad you loved them!
