Home Fries
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, diced into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
Instructions
- Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the parboiled potatoes in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring to allow them to brown. Flip the potatoes and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Season the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper if using. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the home fries to a serving dish. Serve hot and enjoy!
Home fries are a classic American breakfast dish made from diced potatoes that are typically pan-fried or baked until crispy and golden brown. The history of home fries can be traced back to the early 20th century, when they were a popular staple in diners and home kitchens across the United States. The dish has its roots in traditional American and Southern cuisine, where potatoes were a common and affordable ingredient. Today, home fries are enjoyed all over the country and are often served alongside eggs, bacon, and toast as part of a hearty breakfast or brunch. Chefs and home cooks often add a variety of seasonings and ingredients to customize the flavor of their home fries, such as onions, peppers, and herbs.

This technique is favored by many chefs for creating the perfect texture and flavor. For the best home fries, look no further than classic American diners or Southern-style restaurants, where skilled chefs have perfected the art of creating crispy, flavorful home fries that are the perfect accompaniment to a delicious breakfast.
