Home Fries

If making home fries in the morning seems daunting, you can make them ahead of time and reheat while you’re frying the eggs! I made a double batch that I served with steak, then reheated the leftovers for brunch the following day. 

  • 2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2″ cubes
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced fine
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  1. Simmer potatoes in boiling water for 6 minutes, drain.
  2. Pour vegetable oil in a large, cast iron skillet over medium heat, add potatoes and spread them out. Let them cook for 5 minutes – do not stir them!
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, measure out the salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl, set aside.
  4. Stir the potatoes, you’ll notice that they are starting to get golden on one side. Add the red pepper and onion. Continue to stir them every 5 minutes, when they begin to crisp up, add half of the seasoning mix.
  5. Mine took about 20 to 23 minutes to cook, then I seasoned them with the rest of the seasoning mix. Serves 4.
