  • 2 Italian sausages, diced
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 3 tbsp fresh rosemary

Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes and chop into bite-size pieces. Place into a large bowl with the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil and rosemary.
In a separate skillet, cook the sausages until browned. Add the cooked onions and sausages to the bowl with the sweet potatoes and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

Crispy Oven Breakfast Potatoes



Crispy Oven Breakfast Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 1.25 lb. red potatoes, chopped
  • 1 sweet onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1.5 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. grill seasoning or any spice blend you like

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Place your baking sheet in the oven while it preheats. Cover it with foil for easier clean up if you like.
Toss the potatoes, onion, and pepper with olive oil and grill seasoning.
Carefully remove the baking sheet and spread out the potatoes on the baking sheet in one layer. Give the potatoes some space. This helps the potatoes to get crispy. If they are layered on top of each other they are more likely to steam than get crispy.
Bake for 25 minutes, shaking the pan 1-2 times during cooking.
