Ingredients Needed
Here are some notes on the ingredients used in this recipe:
- Baby golden potatoes: These petite potatoes offer a creamy texture and a delicate flavour, perfect for roasting. They hold their shape well when cooked, providing a satisfying bite in every forkful.
- Seasonings (paprika, smoked paprika, oregano, onion powder): This combination of spices adds layers of flavour to the dish. Paprika and smoked paprika bring a subtle smokiness and depth, while oregano offers a hint of herbal brightness. Onion powder enhances the savoury profile, rounding out the seasoning blend.
- Red onion: Red onions provide a mild yet slightly sweet flavor to the dish. They add a pop of colour when roasted alongside the potatoes and other vegetables.
- Mushrooms: These earthy fungi contribute a meaty texture and rich umami flavour to the dish.
- Green and red bell peppers: These vibrant peppers bring a sweet and slightly tangy flavour to the dish. The combination of green and red peppers adds visual interest and a variety of nutrients to the roasted vegetables.
- Chicken or vegetable stock: The stock serves as the liquid base for roasting the vegetables, infusing them with savoury flavor and ensuring they stay moist and tender during cooking. It's essential to use the correct ratio of stock cubes to water, as not all stock cubes are identical. Using too few can lead to a bland, watery broth, while too many may create a stock that's overly salty.
- Spring onions: Also known as scallions, spring onions add a fresh, mild onion flavour to the dish. They can be used as a garnish to add a pop of colour and a subtle oniony bite to the finished dish.
- Salt and pepper: These essential seasonings enhance the flavours of the other ingredients, balancing the sweetness of the vegetables with a touch of saltiness and adding a hint of warmth and complexity with freshly ground black pepper.
- Low-calorie spray oil: This oil is used to coat the vegetables before roasting, helping them develop a crispy exterior while keeping the dish light and lower in calories compared to traditional methods of roasting with more oil. Use your preferred choice of low calorie spray, I prefer olive oil or avocado sprays without any added emulsifiers.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

What to Pair with Breakfast Potatoes
Why not try these Breakfast Potatoes some of the following
- Homemade Breakfast Pork Sausage Patties or Apple and Red Onion Sausage Square: These homemade sausage patties or squares offer a savoury and flavourful protein option to pair with the seasoned breakfast potatoes. The combination of spices and ingredients in the sausages complements the potatoes, creating a satisfying and delicious breakfast experience.
- Shop-bought Sausages and Bacon: If you're short on time or prefer convenience, shop-bought sausages and bacon are excellent alternatives. Choose your favourite low calorie varieties.
- No Added Sugar Baked Beans Indulge in the comforting goodness of homemade baked beans, without the added sugar. These flavourful beans make a hearty accompaniment to the crispy breakfast potatoes, adding a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor to your meal.
- Eggs cooked in various ways (scrambled, fried, poached, or boiled): Eggs are a versatile and essential component of any breakfast spread. Cook them to your liking and serve alongside the breakfast potatoes for a protein-packed and fulfilling meal. Whether you prefer them scrambled, fried, poached, or boiled, eggs add a delicious and satisfying element to your plate.
- Salsa: Add a burst of flavour and spice to your breakfast potatoes by topping them with salsa. The tanginess of the salsa complements the savory potatoes, creating a delightful flavour contrast that elevates your breakfast experience.
- Avocado or Guacamole: For a creamy and nutritious addition to your breakfast, serve sliced avocado or guacamole alongside the breakfast potatoes. The rich and creamy texture of the avocado pairs perfectly with the crispy potatoes, adding a dose of healthy fats to your meal.
- Cheddar Sprinkled : For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the hot breakfast potatoes. The melted cheese adds a deliciously gooey texture and savoury flavour.
- Feta Cheese: Crumble some feta cheese over the hot breakfast potatoes for a tangy and creamy addition. The salty and slightly tangy flavour of feta complements the potatoes and adds a unique twist to your breakfast.
How to Reheat Breakfast Potatoes
When it comes to reheating your delicious breakfast potatoes, you have a few options to choose from depending on your preference and available equipment. Here's how to do it:
- Air Fryer: If you're looking to maintain the crispiness of your breakfast potatoes, the air fryer is an excellent choice. Preheat your air fryer to around 350°F (175°C), then place the potatoes in a single layer in the basket. Heat them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they're heated through.
- Pan: Reheating breakfast potatoes in a pan is quick and convenient. Simply spray a non-stick pan over medium heat with low calorie spray. Once the pan is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're heated through.
- Microwave: If you're short on time, the microwave is a fast and easy way to reheat your breakfast potatoes. Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and cover them. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until they're heated through.
No matter which method you choose, be sure to keep an eye on the potatoes to prevent them from overheating and becoming too dry.
