What to eat with breakfast potatoes
You can eat these potatoes as part of a vegan brunch consisting of fresh fruit, vegan butter, and homemade jelly toasts, tofu scramble, and natural orange juice or coffee.
On the other hand, you can also serve them with baked veggies and your favorite spices and herbs, or with sauces like vegan mayo, healthy ketchup, barbecue sauce, vegan aioli, and vegan sour cream.
Another option is serving your breakfast potatoes with any vegan meat substitute like seitan or tempeh bacon.
How long will these breakfast potatoes keep?
I recommend you serve and eat these potatoes immediately for a better texture and flavor. However, you can also keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
Can I make breakfast potatoes without oil?
Of course! If you're oil-free, this breakfast potatoes recipe will work just as well. Just omit the oil or use any other liquid instead, like lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or vegetable stock.

eaasy to dom I used both red and yellow skin potatoes, omitted some ingredients ( the paprika), reduced the cook time and amount of potatoes used, and they still turned out well. Eat them plain as a purist.
