satisfying oven roasted breakfast Potatoes and Bacon with crisp tender veggies all cooked on one sheet pan!
One Pan Potatoes And Bacon
We’re huge breakfast fans at my home, in fact, my boys love will tell you there is nothing they love more than a big breakfast meal. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, dutch baby, waffles, crepes, quiche — they’re frequently served in my home. Typically we’ll do breakfast for dinner one night a week and a big Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast.
And if for some reason these breakfast potatoes aren’t served, my boys will beg to see them on the table next time. These potatoes are the reliable way to get some (very tasty) veggies in for breakfast as well as getting bacon on the table. And as much as It is satisfying to bacon, I don’t always love the mess. So this recipe is especially nice since the bacon cooks up on a sheet pan — mess free!
We actually use the grease rendered from the bacon to cook the veggies in, and let me tell you, it’s life changing! The veggies and potatoes are super flavorful with crispy roasted exteriors and soft, tender interiors.
One Pan Potatoes And Bacon Ingredients
| Ingredient | Swap or Tip |
|---|---|
| Red potatoes | Yukon gold potatoes also roast really well and have a naturally buttery flavor. |
| Bacon | Thick-cut bacon gives bigger, meatier bites. Regular bacon works great too. |
| Bell peppers | Any color works here. Try poblano peppers if you want a little heat. |
| Onion | Yellow onion or sweet onion both roast up nicely and add great flavor. |
| Butter | Olive oil can be used instead if you prefer. |
| Spice blend | Garlic powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and parsley add big flavor. |
Recipe tips
- Cut vegetables into roughly equal sizes. This ensures even roasting so there aren’t some under-cooked veggies and some over-cooked.
- Spray the sheet pan. Although the bacon renders a good amount of grease, the bacon has a tendency to stick to the sheet pan when being baked so It is worth spraying the pan first for the best potatoes and bacon.
Quick Tip
Use a large sheet pan: Give the potatoes and veggies plenty of space so they roast instead of steam. A 15×21-inch sheet pan works great.
Storage
- Refrigerate: Store potatoes and bacon in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: Spread on a sheet pan and reheat in the oven so the potatoes crisp up again.
