These sweet potato home fries are crispy and the right balance of sweet and spicy—the perfect breakfast side to change up your weekend brunch game. We added a little kick to the potato dish with some diced jalapeno and smoked paprika. You can omit the butter for an easy paleo or Whole30 breakfast.
This is a great dish to prep ahead of time. Get all of the veggies chopped and seasoned the night before, then pop it in the oven in the morning. Serve them alongside your favorite eggs, toast, and bacon. You could also top the home fries with over-easy eggs and breakfast sausage crumbles for an easy breakfast bowl.
