A savory and satisfying roasted cheesy breakfast potatoes recipe featuring crispy cubed potatoes and onions seasoned with smoked paprika, oregano, and fresh thyme, then topped with melted mozzarella and fresh chives.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 6 potatoes, cubed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Chives, to serve

Spices and Herbs

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Other Ingredients

  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup mozzarella, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200ºC (400ºF) and allow it to reach the temperature while you prepare the potatoes.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, chopped onion, smoked paprika, dried oregano, fresh thyme sprigs, and olive oil. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings and oil.
  3. Bake the Potatoes: Transfer the mixed potatoes and onions to an oven-proof dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through, crispy on the edges, and golden brown in color.
  4. Add Cheese and Heat: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven for a few more minutes, just until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the dish from the oven and scatter freshly chopped chives over the potatoes. Serve hot for a delicious breakfast or brunch side.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cubed potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then drain and pat dry.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a mix of your favorite cheeses.
  • Fresh thyme enhances the flavor, but dried thyme can be used in a pinch.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt and pepper as desired.
  • This dish pairs well with eggs and bacon for a hearty breakfast.
