Tri colored breakfast potatoes are a great way to start the day off right with vitamins, fiber, and flavor!
White, orange, and purple sweet potatoes are just what you need to mix up the breakfast routine.
I’m not a great breakfast eater. Although, I have come a long way since I was in my twenties when I ate a donut and a Red Bull for breakfast, but eating a healthy meal that I like is still tough. I do a great job of feeding my kids and getting them to eat a filling meal, but most of the time, I come last.
This is one breakfast I can get behind. I love potatoes, pretty much all of them. So with that in mind, I set out to make a colorful, fast, and tasty breakfast that has a good portion of protein and fat to get me through the morning. Sweet potatoes are filling and each of these (white, orange, and purple) pack their own variety of vitamins and flavor. Secondly, this whole thing is made in the Air Fryer, so it’s basically a one pot meal. If you don’t have an Air Fryer, you can certainly make this on a sheet pan in the oven and will just have to play around with the temp and time so it comes out how you want it.
This recipe made enough for me to eat breakfast and have enough for three more. On a lazy Sunday, I’ll make a blender hollandaise sauce to pour over it and feel real fancy. Get the coffee pot programmed and set for 6:00 AM. There's no reason to skip breakfast with this winner ready to go.
