- Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, stirring halfway through to promote even browning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving hot alongside your favorite breakfast items.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
- If you prefer a more seasoned flavor, try adding smoked paprika or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the potatoes before baking.
- These potatoes can also be made in an air fryer for a quicker and even crispier result.
