Roasted sweet potato home fries are diced sweet potatoes roasted with peppers and onions, seasoned to perfection, and baked in the oven. Roasting these breakfast potatoes rather than cooking them on the stovetop allows to them to cook faster and more evenly.
Roasted Versus Stovetop
I know sweet potato home fries are traditionally made in a skillet on the stovetop, however, I find that I actually prefer roasting them. Stovetop home fries are great, I make them all the time when I don't want to wait on the oven to preheat. Let me tell you why I've starting roasting them more often than not.
- Throwing these on a sheet pan and letting the oven do all the work is pretty awesome. Turn them once and you're good, no other
- In my experience, the oven cooks these little potatoes more evenly than the stovetop. babysitting required.
- The potatoes don't stick to parchment like they do to the bottom of a skillet. So easier cleanup, yaaas!
Can You Use Other Potatoes?
Yes! Red potatoes, russet potatoes or Yukon potatoes can be substituted without having to make any other changes to the recipe and they're just as delicious, just not as sweet.
How Much?
I'm all about good food on a budget. One of my favorite things about home fries is they are crazy cheap to make - especially when you wait for sales! This recipe costs about $3.50 to make 5-6 servings.
Storage
[su_highlight background="#a4bcb2" color="#ffffff"]STORAGE:[/su_highlight] Home fries will last up to 5 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
[su_highlight background="#a4bcb2" color="#ffffff"]REHEATING:[/su_highlight] These reheat really well in the microwave, which makes them kinda perfect for meal prepped breakfasts if you're looking. A quick 60 second zap on high for a single serving and you're good to go.
