Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
2 pounds large red bliss or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup fresh parsley
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, cover and cook over medium-high heat until just tender, about 6 minutes; drain.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add the potatoes and spread into a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until they start browning on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and sprinkle with the paprika; flip the potatoes and cook 5 more minutes. Stir once, then continue cooking until the potatoes are mostly golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the garlic, pile the parsley on top and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Chop and mash together until finely minced. When the potatoes are done, add the garlic mixture to the skillet and toss to coat; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy home fries, it's essential to use evenly-sized potato slices and cook them in a single layer in a hot skillet with sufficient oil.
  • Partially boiling the potatoes before frying reduces cooking time and helps achieve a tender interior while maintaining a crispy exterior.
  • Using a well-seasoned cast iron skillet enhances the flavor and crispiness of the home fries.
  • Freshly minced garlic and herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley add a burst of flavor to the dish.
  • Adding some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon during the last few minutes of cooking can elevate the taste and texture of the home fries.
  • To ensure even cooking, stir the home fries gently but regularly to prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • For a healthier version, opt for olive oil instead of butter and consider air-frying the home fries instead of pan-frying.

Garlic home fries are a versatile and flavorful side dish that can complement various main courses. With their crispy exterior, tender interior, and garlicky aroma, these home fries are sure to be a hit at any brunch, breakfast, or dinner table.
