Steps:
- Quarter potatoes, skin on, and boil them in 8 cups of water with a teaspoon of salt for approximately 20 minutes, or until tender to the poke of a fork. Drain water.
- In your best large nonstick pan or well-seasoned skillet, over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the butter/oil mixture is hot, transfer potatoes to pan and use a spatula to chop the quarters into smaller pieces (there is no science here). As the potatoes absorb the butter and oil during cooking, continue to add equal amounts of each, as required, to keep the pan well greased. Saute for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until potatoes begin browning on all sides. If the potatoes start burning before they brown, reduce the heat.
- Add garlic, and onions and continue cooking for 15 more minutes, or until potatoes, garlic and onions are all very browned and crispy.
- When it seems potatoes are almost done to your liking, add herbs, salt, and pepper to taste and toss well. Serve immediately on warmed plates.
ROASTED HABANERO SALSA FROM HELL
This salsa will keep, covered and refrigerated, about 5 to 6 weeks, mainly because no mold or bacteria would dare to come near the stuff.

Steps:
- Combine tablespoon of olive oil and garlic and mix well.
- Rub tomato halves with this mixture, sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper and roast in 500-degree oven until they begin to take o some serious color, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, cool to room temperature and dice.
- Meanwhile, grill habanero peppers over a medium-hot fire until slightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove peppers from fire and mince.
- Be very careful when working with this pepper.
- Wear gloves when mincing it, and if you get any of the juice on your skin, wash it off with a mild bleach solution, which neutralizes the capsaicin.
- Also, be sure not to rub your eyes while working with these peppers, and wash your hands well after you're done.
- These little guys are incendiary.
- In medium-size bowl, combine tomatoes, peppers, 1/4 cup olive oil, lime juice and cilantro, mix well, and prepare for takeoff.

- Adding them too soon will cause them to burn before the potatoes are crisp, and too late will prevent the garlic and onion from fully caramelizing.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are ideal for home fries as they hold their shape well and have a fluffy interior.
- Cut Potatoes Uniformly: Cut potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Soak Potatoes: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- Dry Potatoes Thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are completely dry before frying to prevent splattering and ensure a crispy texture.
- Use a Well-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet provides even heat distribution and promotes a crispy exterior.
- Don't Crowd the Skillet: Avoid overcrowding the skillet with potatoes as it will prevent them from cooking evenly and result in steamed potatoes.
- Cook in Batches: If necessary, cook the potatoes in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Season Generously: Season the potatoes liberally with salt, pepper, and other desired spices for maximum flavor.
- Flip Carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the potatoes to avoid breaking them and promote even browning.
- Cook Until Crispy: Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
