How to make Home Fries? (A Comfort Savory Food)

Our go-to side dish for breakfast or even dinner is home fries paired with our preferred meatloaf recipe! Fried potatoes, which are made with flavorful, home-cooked goodness, are the epitome of comfort food.

Home fries go great with dishes like a Denver Egg Casserole, but they also go well with entrees like Salisbury steak or Swiss steak.

Home fried potatoes are a straightforward breakfast mainstay that are starchy yet soft potatoes that are cooked in butter until the outside is crunchy.

Making Homemade Fries

For this recipe of home fries, there is no need to peel the potatoes. Just cut Russet potatoes into rough cubes before cooking them in water to keep things simple and rustic.

Because they are harder and reheat more effectively than typical white or red potatoes, russets are the finest choice for home fries.

The potatoes are always great when they are boiled briefly before being fried (while the onion cooks)! You only want to soften them somewhat, not entirely boil them. Make sure to cut them into little cubes, between 1/2′′ and 3/4′′.

In addition to the onions and potatoes that I use, you may also add peppers, fried mushrooms, or even leftover vegetables!

Making home fries

1. The potatoes should be soft enough to pierce with a fork after a few minutes of boiling.
2. The onions should be cooked in butter (or even better, bacon fat!) until they are soft.
3. Add the potatoes to the pan after seasoning them with salt and pepper.
4. Cook till golden brown and crispy.

Serve warm with some melted cheese, ketchup, or tabasco! Why not try making a batch of sweet potato home fries for a novel twist? For sweet potatoes, use the same recipe! A morning hash can also be the ideal appetizer with home-fried potatoes!
