Pro tips

You don't need to peel the potatoes if you don't want to, especially if you use organic potatoes.
Feel free to use any kind of potatoes.
I recommend you make your own Italian seasoning at home because it's a simple recipe and more affordable than the store-bought ones.
You can customize your breakfast potatoes recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices. You could also add fresh parsley or any other fresh herb just before serving.
I normally use Himalayan pink salt, although you can use any type of salt.
You could also replace garlic powder for fresh garlic or onion powder.
If you don't want to use the oven to make this breakfast potatoes recipe just steam the potatoes until soft and place them in a skillet with all the remaining ingredients. Then mix until well combined and sautée them until golden brown.

What to eat with breakfast potatoes

You can eat these potatoes as part of a vegan brunch consisting of fresh fruit, vegan butter, and homemade jelly toasts, tofu scramble, and natural orange juice or coffee.

On the other hand, you can also serve them with baked veggies and your favorite spices and herbs, or with sauces like vegan mayo, healthy ketchup, barbecue sauce, vegan aioli, and vegan sour cream.

Another option is serving your breakfast potatoes with any vegan meat substitute like seitan or tempeh bacon.

How long will these breakfast potatoes keep?

I recommend you serve and eat these potatoes immediately for a better texture and flavor. However, you can also keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.

Can I make breakfast potatoes without oil?

Of course! If you're oil-free, this breakfast potatoes recipe will work just as well. Just omit the oil or use any other liquid instead, like lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or vegetable stock.
