roasted breakfast potatoes


every weekend morning, regardless of if I work or not, I force myself out of bed early enough to whip up something delicious. as a farm raised kid, I go for the meat/potatoes/veggie&egg a guiltily 9 outta 10 times. pre-shredded frozen potatoes are almost always kept in stock for the frequent occasion when we want to indulge in a pile of hash browns without the prep.  I could write a novel on potato dishes, but I digress.

this morning I decided to go for the just-as-delicious-but-longer-cooking roasted potatoes. this roasted potato recipe is so easy and even easier to modify to your tastes. it's especially great to roast along side a larger meal or even in the middle of the night for a quick, cozy snack. feel free to use your favorite type of oil in place of evoo, swap in sweet potatoes in lieu of reds, or play with all your go-to spices!!

  • 3 med-large potatoes, diced into half inch pieces

  • 1 sprig fresh oregano
