- Sometimes they’re called home fries or oven potatoes, but whatever you want to call them, they are delicious!
- They are easy to make from scratch, and then you roast them until the potatoes are tender, golden, and crispy around the edges. They smell amazing while they cook!
- They are the perfect side dish because they go with so many breakfast main dishes.
- This recipe is so easy you won’t need to go out to get them from a restaurant – you will love making them at home!

Ingredients
- Diced russet potatoes
- Diced red and green bell peppers
- Chopped cooked bacon – this is optional!
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder
- Dried parsley
- Paprika
- Chopped fresh parsley
How to Make Oven Potatoes
Place the diced potatoes and peppers in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and toss to coat everything evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, and pepper. Sprinkle half of the seasonings over the potatoes and peppers. Stir them to coat them evenly, and then add the rest of the seasonings and stir again.




Spread it all on a baking sheet in an even layer. Roast them for 20 to 30 minutes at 400°F or until the potatoes are golden and tender.
Take the sheet pan out of the oven and sprinkle the chopped bacon and parsley over the top for garnish.
Pro Tips
You can prep parts of the recipe the night before to make things easy in the morning!
You can chop the peppers and keep them in a container in the fridge. You can mix the seasonings and keep them in a bowl with a lid.
I don’t recommend dicing the potatoes ahead of time because they will brown if left out too long. Wait to do that before you roast them.
The bacon is optional for this recipe, but it really adds a lot of flavor! Cook the bacon in the oven to make it easy, or you can cook it in a skillet while the potatoes are roasting.
The leftovers will keep well for a few days in the fridge. Just pop them in the microwave to warm them up!
