One of my quick and easy go-to breakfast dishes is roasted potatoes. Of course, as you’ve heard in Forrest Gump, there’s plenty of ways to prepare potatoes. This recipe for curry roasted red potatoes is super simple, and goes great with some fried eggs. It’s actually quite similar to my breakfast potatoes recipe, which just has a slightly different flavor profile.
The best thing about this recipe is that prep only takes a couple minutes. Red potatoes have a thin waxy skin which means no peeling. Just quarter or wedge them and that’s it!

For this recipe I am using a kilo (2.2lbs) of red potatoes. Just chunk them up however you see fit; I try to keep a large skin surface area with my cuts if possible. Place them all in a bowl to dress.

Here’s the best part. The curry is completely up to you. If you love curries and have your own preferred blend, go ahead and use that. If you are like me and would rather spend more time on lunch or dinner than breakfast, use a store-bought blend. In fact, I actually used a pack of Curry Picante that my good friend brought me from his travels to Argentina. Just drizzle the ‘taters in some olive oil, add a tablespoon or two of your curry powder, and a healthy pinch of salt.

Lay all your potatoes on a baking tray skin side up. I know it’s always hard to get 100% skin side up when cutting potatoes unless they are small enough to halve, but try your best. Then, place in an oven preheated to 175 Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 25 minutes.

Take the potatoes out of the oven and check for doneness. The skin should have turned light brown and crinkly as seen above. And that’s it, easy curry roasted red potatoes…a delicious and easy breakfast.
