Crispy Breakfast Potatoes with Chili Garlic Oil and Herbs…this is that can’t beat brunch dish that everyone loves. Roasted baby potatoes, crispy bacon, and soft-boiled eggs, all served together and topped with a garlic chili oil and plenty of fresh herbs. Bonus? The potatoes and bacon are cooked together on ONE sheet pan, making this a super easy way to serve brunch.
Switching things up today and sharing a savory breakfast recipe. I know it’s much more of the norm for me to share a sweet breakfast recipe, but lately I’m very much into three things: potatoes, eggs, and garlic. Ever since I made this sheet pan salmon and potatoes a few weeks back, I’ve been on a huge roasted baby-potatoes kick.
Simply can’t get enough. For whatever reason the idea of a breakfast potato dish sounded so good to me. And while I hesitated creating this recipe for a while, because that’s what I do, I over think. I’m really glad I finally worked up the courage, not only create this recipe, but to share it too!
If you follow along on Instagram, I shared a story the other week about all the recipes I’ve photographed, but never actually shared. I can’t tell you all just how much I shoot, but then never share. Either I’m afraid it’s too out-there of a recipe, and no one will like it. Or I just don’t love how the photos turned out.
I know, it’s beyond craziness. And as hard as it is for me to do, I’m really trying to let this over-thinking and over-analyzing go. Because there have been too many recipes over the years that I’ve never shared, but personally loved.
This is one of those recipes that I was on the fence about sharing. But the bottom line is, not only do I love it, but my family loves it too.
SO, I am really excited to share it!
The idea for this dish came from the classic breakfast the everyone loves so much, potatoes, eggs, and bacon. More traditionally this type of dish is served in the form of hash browns, scrambled eggs, and pan-fried bacon. It’s a combo that pretty much everyone loves and rarely tires of.
Me being me, wanted to put a fresh twist on that classic combo. As I said, I am loving roasted baby potatoes right now, so I knew I needed to incorporate them into this dish. In thinking about the baby potatoes, it reminded me of these roasted potatoes with spring herbs and burrata. From the second I pulled up that post, I knew that the burrata needed to be swapped for soft-boiled eggs. From there, I added bacon, and then, suddenly I had breakfast potatoes.
Delicious, right?
The potatoes and bacon are both roasted together on the same sheet pan, making this a much easier potato, bacon, and egg brunch than others. The bacon crisps up over top of the potatoes. This makes for some seriously awesome roasted potatoes that have a touch of smoky flavor. Delicious.
While the potatoes are baking are in the oven, soft or hard boil a whole bunch of eggs. Then make a quick chili garlic oil.
You guys know me, I love a good saucy dish, so the chili garlic oil is a must. I like to finish the dish with a whole bunch of fresh basil. Not only is this dish a little garlicky, and a little spicy, it’s also herby, yum!
Once the potatoes and bacon are roasted and crispy, I like to spoon them onto a serving plate. Then simply break the eggs over the potatoes. I’m all about a soft-boiled egg, but really you can do what you love. Even a batch of scrambled eggs would be delicious.
Finish the potatoes off with a drizzle of the chili garlic oil and your breakfast potatoes are complete. Oh, and maybe add some fresh dill and chives, because you really can’t go wrong adding a couple extra herbs. The more better, if you ask me.
Serve these for Saturday or Sunday brunch, but then save the leftovers for lunch throughout the week. These are SO good spooned over a bowl of greens…breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

This was amazing and delicious, and a very fun “breakfast for dinner” type thing. I lowered my eggs into already boiling water, and they were perfect after 8 minutes (and an immediate ice bath) just like the pics…so I think for some reason boiling times can very a bit. Maybe larger eggs need a little more time?
The chili oil was wonderful and went well on a salad with a little lemon juice the next day. Another great one, Tieghan!
Hey Aline!! Yes, larger eggs will take a bit longer to cook. So glad you loved this recipe so much. Thank you!
So this is absolutely making my mouth water! Will you share your method for soft boiling your eggs? Do you bring them to a boil and then cover them and turn them off for a certain amount of time? I see I’m not the only one curious about your method. Thank you so much!
Hi Talia! below is the recipe I like to use for soft boiled eggs. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan

I made these for brunch this morning and they turned out so well!! The chili oil with basil was such a fun punch of flavor.
I am so glad you liked this! Thank you Sara! xTieghan
We made this for breakfast this morning. Such a great idea! We added arugula and used a leftover lemon garlic dressing we made last week. Also made pork sausage because we didn’t have bacon. So good! I love all of your ideas and follow you on Instagram.
Thank you Ananda! xtieghan

WOW!! My tastebuds are so jazzed about this potato dish. Everything from the bacon roasted with the potatoes, the herbs and the garlic sauce – my goodness this dish is AMAZING! And how you topped it off with the soft boiled eggs is brilliant. What a wonderful recipe for a lazy Saturday morning brunch! Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad you love this recipe! Thank you Linger! xTieghan
OH MY GOSH. The second picture actually looks orgasmic (pardon my French, sorry!). Potatoes never looked so beautiful to me until now! I would probably substitute for purple potatoes or even sweet potatoes, but either way, I am whipping up some breakfast potatoes and eating them with scrambled tofu or seitan–it’ll be the most fantastic meal ever!
Thank you so much Cassie! I am so glad you like this recipe and I hope you try it! Thank you! xTieghan

This looks amazing!! I too have been loving roasted potatoes since making the salmon recipe and thought working them into breakfast would be great! Do you think it would work with poached eggs too?
