On Sunday morning, after a short, chilly walk with Sadie, Ryan and I arrived home in the mood for a hot, hearty breakfast that would fill us up and warm our bellies.
Ryan was on egg duty while I tackled the potatoes. The prep work was minimal since I previously purchased a big container of cubed sweet potatoes from the grocery store earlier in the week and simply had to season them and cook ‘em up!

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 large onion, diced

- Pour onto a baking sheet and bake for approximately 40 – 45 minutes, flipping regular to ensure potatoes are evenly cooked.
I’m happy I made a big batch of the potatoes because we had them for breakfast and dinner on Sunday. They were great with eggs in the morning and also as a side dish with our Sunday night burgers!
On Sunday this weekend, I’m hoping to take the time to prep up another batch of these sweet potatoes to have on hand to reheat with breakfast or dinner throughout the week next week. These breakfast potatoes are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and fiber thanks to the beautiful orange sweet potatoes, so they’re a warm and delicious side dish you can feel good about eating. (If you have access to purple sweet potatoes, I think preparing this recipe with a combination of orange and purple sweet potatoes would make the dish all the more eye-catching and appealing!)
I hope you love them as much as we did!
