Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

31/2 lb russet potatoes
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp butter, cut into pieces
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 Tbsp vegitable oil
2 large onions, cut into ½-inch dice
3 Tbsp minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • 1. Instructions 1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position, place rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 500 degrees.
  • 2. 2. Bring 10 cups water to boil in Dutch oven over high heat. Add potatoes and baking soda. Return to boil and cook for 1 minute. Drain potatoes. Return potatoes to Dutch oven and place over low heat. Cook, shaking pot occasionally, until any surface moisture has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter, 1½ teaspoons salt, and cayenne; mix with rubber spatula until potatoes are coated with thick, starchy paste, about 30 seconds
  • 3. 3. Remove baking sheet from oven and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Transfer potatoes to baking sheet and spread into even layer. Roast for 15 minutes. While potatoes roast, combine onions, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and ½ teaspoon salt in bowl.
  • 4. 4. Remove baking sheet from oven. Using thin, sharp metal spatula, scrape and turn potatoes. Clear about 8 by 5-inch space in center of baking sheet and add onion mixture. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • 5. 5. Scrape and turn again, mixing onions into potatoes. Continue to roast until potatoes are well browned and onions are softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in chives and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

I've never been a fan of home fries, but these are amazing! They're crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the seasonings are perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.

These home fries are the perfect side dish for any meal. They're especially good with steak, chicken, or fish. I also love to add them to my breakfast burrito.

These home fries are a lifesaver on busy mornings. They're quick and easy to make, and they're always a hit with my kids. I usually make a double batch so I have leftovers for lunch.

These home fries are a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I usually make a big batch on the weekends and then reheat them throughout the week for breakfast or lunch. They're also a delicious addition to breakfast burritos and tacos.

I've tried many home fries recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of russet potatoes, onions, and bell peppers is perfect, and the seasonings are spot-on. I love that it's a one-pan dish, making cleanup a breeze.

These home fries were a hit at my family breakfast! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a perfect balance of seasonings. I added a bit of chopped onion and green bell pepper for extra flavor, and they turned out amazing. De
