About these Potatoes
The breakfast potatoes at IHOP, Bob Evans, or Waffle House just hit the spot, ya know? They're crispy, salty, flavorful—and they smell sooooo good! The best part is that you can enjoy them with so many different types of breakfast. I had to make my own Crispy Breakfast Potatoes to eat at home.

Recipe Ingredients
- Potatoes: The main player in this hash. I used white potatoes and cut them in bite-sized cubes.
- Veggies: I used onion, jalapeño, and bell pepper. Chop them small to ensure you have small pieces in each bite.
- Olive Oil: To keep our ingredients from sticking and providing a rich, greasy taste.
- Garlic Salt: One of the best seasonings! This will really take your hash to the next level.
- Paprika: For some more woody, earthy flavor. Plus, the color is beautiful!

How to Make This Recipe
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease your sheet pan. Wash, peel, and dice white potatoes into ½” cubes. Add them to a mixing bowl.
2. Finely dice the white onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno. Mix with the potatoes in the mixing bowl. Pour the oil over the vegetables and coat evenly.
3. Combine garlic salt, paprika, and pepper in a pinch bowl. Sprinkle evenly onto the vegetables. Toss so the everything is coated evenly.
4. Pour the seasoned potatoes and vegetables onto the sheet pan. Cook for 40-45 minutes at 425°F on the middle rack. Toss 2-3 times while baking to ensure there is no burning. Towards the end, you can crank the heat up to 450°F or 475°F to get your potatoes EXTRA crispy and golden. Enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
These potatoes are meant to be dunked in a creamy, delicious sauce. I love enjoying them with Chick-Fil-A sauce, ranch, hot sauce, barbecue sauce, or even a mix of ketchup and mustard. I think bleu cheese dressing would taste absolutely incredible, too!
Store in a glass Tupperware dish in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop the potatoes in the microwave or toss them in the oven on broil, rotating often so they don’t burn. You could also heat up in the air fryer! These are a great meal prep option!
Dice potatoes evenly and the veggies SMALL. That's why I love using this vegetable chopper. This allows for an equal bake. Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil to give each potato that crispy, buttery coating we all love!
Also don't forget to toss the potato hash 3-4 times while cooking. This will help ensure they get that beautiful golden brown color.

MEAL PREP THESE POTATOES. You'll thank yourself later when you can have what feels like a weekend breakfast all week long. Just throw an egg on a skillet and pair with these potatoes and you've got a meal in 5 minutes! Top with some feta, you will not be disappointed 🙂
