BASIC HOME FRIES

I just love home fries and this is a great basic recipe for a delicious breakfast! Yum! I love these with ketchup. Adapted from Mollie Katzen's Sunlight Cafe Cookbook. :)

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 lbs potatoes, cut into small cubes, about 5-6 cups (1/4-1/2 inch)
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 1/2-2 cups onions, chopped small
1 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
1 cup diced bell pepper (I love red, but any color will do)
1 -2 tablespoon garlic, chopped
fresh ground black pepper
sour cream
minced scallion (or chives)
salsa
hot pepper sauce
ketchup

Steps:

  • If you like, scrub potatoes and cut into 1/2" cubes. Place in pan with water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, then drain and set aside. You may prep in advance, store them in fresh water in a tightly covered container in the reefigerator. Drain and dry completely befroe using. You don't need to bring to room temperature. I sometimes skip this part and cut smaller and throw into pan.
  • Place a 10" skillet or saute pan over medium heat on stovetop. After a few minutes, add 1 tbls. of the olive oil(or enough to cover the bottom of the pan, wait about 10 seconds, then swirl to coat pan. Turn the heat up to medium high and add half the potatoes, spreading them into a single layer in the hot oil. Let cook a few minutes, then turn down the heat to medium and let cook, without stirring for 5-8 minutes. Resist stirring.
  • Sprinkle in about 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and turn the potatoes over, using a metal spatula. I check to make sure they are getting nice and brown and crispy on the underside before turning. If they are not, let cook a few more minutes. Spread into a single layer and cook without stirring for another 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Scrape from the bottom to loosen the potatoes, and toss them around in the pan. Cook for another minute or two, then move them to a bowl, scraping out and saving all the tasty brown tidbits from the bottom of the pan. Repeat this procedure with the remaining potatoes, using another tbls. or so of the oil and another 1/8 teaspoons salt.
  • After cooking the potatoes, scrape out the pan and wipe with a damp paper towel.(I sometimes skip wiping out the pan if it is fairly clean). Return pan to heat and when hot, add remaining tbls. of oil. You can also melt in a little margarine or butter if you like. Wait 10 seconds, then swirl to coat bottom of pan.
  • Add the onions and saute over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes very soft. Sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt, along with herbs, bell peppers, and garlic. Continue to cook, stirring often, for another 5 minutes or so.
  • Return the potatoes to the pan and stir them into the onion mixture. Saute over medium heat for another 5-10 minutes(more if needed), or until everything is done to your liking.
  • Taste to adjust the salt, and grind in some fresh black pepper.
  • Serve hot or warm, topped with your favorite toppiings. Enjoy!

BREAKFAST HOME FRIES



Breakfast Home Fries image

Provided by Robert Farrar Capon

Categories     breakfast, easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 12 individual portions

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large potatoes, washed but not peeled
2 medium onions
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Additional oil for the baking sheet

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Shred the potatoes and onions (in a food processor or with a hand-held shredder), place them in a large bowl, add the vegetable oil, salt and pepper, and mix well.
  • Oil 2 9-by-13-inch nonstick baking sheets and place the potato mixture on the sheets in 12 mounds. Flatten them to a thickness of 1/2 inch and form them into neat, round cakes. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the undersides of the cakes are browned. It is not necessary to turn the cakes. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool completely before lifting from the sheet.
  • Wrap the cakes individually, place them on a flat sheet, and freeze. To use, defrost two or more cakes in the microwave (or overnight in the refrigerator) and fry on both sides in butter, bacon fat or oil until nicely browned. Alternatively, put the frozen cakes directly onto the rack of a toaster oven set for dark and toast until browned but not dry in the center.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, red, and russet potatoes all work well for home fries. Yukon Golds are especially good for crispy fries, while russets are best for soft, fluffy fries.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they'll overcook and become mushy. If they're too large, they'll take too long to cook and won't be crispy.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly before cooking: This will help them crisp up. If the potatoes are wet, they'll steam instead of fry.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the potatoes get a nice, even crust.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will steam instead of fry.
  • Flip the potatoes frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the potatoes hot with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Home fries are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect home fries every time.
