Home Fries are cubed potatoes that are pan-fried crisp on the outside, smooth and creamy on the inside, and seasoned simply with common pantry spices and seasonings. These diner-style fried potatoes are a family favorite and always a welcome sight on the dinner table. They are the perfect side dish for bacon and eggs, roast chicken, sausage gravy, or chile relleno casserole.

Ingredients

2 pounds yukon gold potatoes skin on, cut into ½ inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 - medium yellow onion diced
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional)
fresh chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, or dill (optional)

How To Make home fries

Step 1

Add the potato cubes to a large pot and fill it with cold water and a sprinkle of salt. Bring the pot to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the potatoes well. Use a paper towel to blot up extra moisture.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil and melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cook until soft. This will take about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, plate the onions and cover them to keep them warm.
Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon oil and melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the potatoes in a single layer in the skillet. If needed, work in batches. Cook the potatoes until browned or for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and brown the other side. Cook until tender
Step 4

Add the onions back to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with more salt and pepper to taste, and if desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
