Quick, Easy, Healthy Breakfast Potatoes (Great for Health & Weight Loss!)
Potatoes get a bad rap… Potatoes CAN hurt your health and weight loss efforts – but they can also help! These healthy breakfast potatoes are tasty and help you reach you health goals. They’re also quick, easy, and perfect for meal prep. We love serving these delicious little bites with breakfast sandwiches and scrambles. (They’re also great topped with chili!)
Here’s what we love about these Healthy Breakfast Potatoes:
- This recipe uses Yukon gold potatoes, which are super creamy and easy to clean and cut.
- Potatoes are a good source of fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamins/minerals, antioxidants, and even protein. That makes them perfect for your first meals of the day.
- Olive oil further increases the anti-inflammatory properties of this recipe.
- Pink Himalayan salt is a delicious, hearty salt that you can actually use less of than table salt. You’re taking in less sodium overall – always a plus.
- They take only 20-30 minutes to prepare, even if you want to cook an entire 3 pound bag of potatoes. (One of our meal prep staples!)
- They reheat in only 10 minutes! You can throw a sprouted English muffin, Nutrifitx Approved sausage patty, and potatoes on the same pan, pop it in the toaster oven, and breakfast is served in just 10 minutes. How’s that for eating healthy with a busy schedule?!

The BEST (Easy) Breakfast Potatoes
These delicious, soft-on-the-inside, crispy-on-the-outside breakfast potatoes are your new healthy favorite! Perfect to meal prep for breakfast scrambles, burritos, and sides for breakfast sandwiches. (Plus, they're clean, healthy, and supportive for your weight loss or fitness goals!)
Ingredients
- 32 oz Yukon Gold Potatoes (Organic)
- 1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt, to taste (we recommend Pink Himalayan Salt or Sea Salt)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 (F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Wash and clean potatoes.
- Chop potatoes into small to medium sized squares (see photos) and add to large mixing bowl. (Smaller cunks make crispier potatoes.)
- Drizzle olive oil over potatoes, and stir until potatoes are coated.
- Lightly salt the potatoes, stir again. Repeat if desired.
- Place half of potatoes on each baking sheet in a single, even layer.
- When preheated, place pans in oven on hottest racks (in our oven, it's the middle and bottom rack). With convection: bake for 12 minutes; Without convection: bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove pans from oven, and stir potatoes around, flipping to bake on all sides. Put pans back in oven on opposite racks. With convection: bake 10-12 minutes; Without convection: bake 12-15 minutes. Check potatoes periodically. You're looking for golden brown, lightly crispy edges and corners.
- Remove from oven, and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes. Serve with your favorite breakfast meal. Enjoy!
Notes
Cut potatoes smaller if you want crispier potatoes or if you aren't using a convection setting on the oven. You can also cook these potatoes in an air fryer or using an air fryer pan (if doing so, feel free to cut a medium potato size).
