Ingredients for Baked Breakfast Potatoes

How to Make Baked Breakfast Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs small red potatoes (cubed), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 tbsp butter (melted), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp paprika.
  3. Mix well to ensure potatoes are evenly coated.
  4. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  5. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup crushed corn flakes evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness around the 45-minute mark; baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
