Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 pound fingerling potatoes
Salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

Place the potatoes in a pot, cover them with water and season the water abundantly with salt. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes until a fork slides in and out of them easily. Drain potatoes and cool.
Coat a large saute pan generously with olive oil. Add the onions, season with salt and bring the pan to a medium high heat. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and saute for 7 to 8 minutes or until the onions are soft and wilted but do not have any color.
Using the heel of your hand, smash the boiled potatoes to flatten and to break apart. Add to the pan, toss with onions and then flatten them against the bottom of the pan so they begin to form a crust. Repeat this process a few times so a lot of crust forms. Season with salt and toss with the chopped parsley.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 medium idaho potatoes washed, cut in half and sliced thick
1 small onion, diced
2 Tbsp butter
2 slice thick cut bacon, diced
1 mini red bell pepper, diced
1 Tbsp garlic granuals
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
salt & pepper to taste
3 pinch bouquet garni
mexican cheese blend w/ jalapino

Steps:

1. Prep: wash your potatoes, scrubbing off any dirt. slice in half length wise and slice thick. ( I leave the skins on) dice bacon, onions and red bell pepper
2. warm skillet on medium heat, add diced bacon to cook a bit to get some grease in the bottom of the pan. Once you have bacon grease and its sizzling add your diced onion and bell pepper. Reduce heat to medium low and allow to cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Remove as much bacon grease as you can and put back on the burner.
3. Add your butter, sliced potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic granuals, bouquet garni and paprika (i used smoked paprika, but you can choose which to use) and toss well. Cover and allow to cook on medium low for about 30-35 minutes. Turn occasionally to promote browning but dont allow to burn.
4. Once potatoes are soft and browned to your liking, uncover, lower the temperature to simmer and liberally spread the Mexican cheese blend on top of the potatoes and allow to melt. Enjoy!!

Tips:

Use the right potatoes: Yukon Gold, russet, and red potatoes are all good choices for home fries. Yukon Golds are the best all-around potato, while russets are good for crispy home fries and red potatoes are good for a more tender fry.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help to remove the starch and prevent the home fries from sticking together.
Season the potatoes liberally: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help to create a crispy crust on the home fries.
Cook the home fries over medium-high heat: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: This will prevent the home fries from cooking evenly.
Flip the home fries frequently: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Serve the home fries immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Home fries are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can make a delicious plate of home fries that everyone will enjoy.
