DINER-STYLE BAKED POTATO HOME FRIES



Diner-Style Baked Potato Home Fries image

When I was working my way through college at a local diner, I learned that they used leftover baked potatoes from the dinner menu that they baked the day before. They always made extra baked potatoes so that they could use them for home fries the next morning. I discovered that this was the 'secret' to having flaky, crispy home fries. Very easy to make.

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large baking potatoes, skins on
1/4 cup onion, diced
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash potatoes and pierce with a fork. Microwave at baked potato setting until done.
  • Slice potatoes as thinly as possible. Put onions and butter in large skillet on medium heat and cook until onions are translucent.
  • Add potatoes and continue frying until the potatoes are browned around the edges. I like some of my potatoes to be on the crispy side. Season with salt and pepper.
  • This is also a great way to use up left over baked potatoes. You could also add some chopped green pepper to the potatoes. If you are going to add green peppers, cook these with the onions before adding the potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for home fries, as they have a high starch content that helps them crisp up nicely.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the potatoes in a hot skillet: This will help them crisp up.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Flip the potatoes regularly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This may take 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Diner-style baked potato home fries are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic diner dish at home.
