LINDA'S AWESOME HOME FRIES
I was looking for a little added flavor in my home fries this morning and created this luscious recipe. They were AWESOME! I splurged and had them with fried eggs and toast for a DELICIOUS weekend breakfast. GREAT flavor and just a little spiciness from the seasoning. They are REALLY good! I cooked these on med-high, and from the starting of peeling the onion to putting them on my plate was 45 mins., so if you cook them on high it is going to take less time, and if you cook them on med. it's going to take longer. Med-high worked perfect for me, as it browned the home fries nicely and didn't scorch the onions! See my picture. If you have a lg. cast iron frying pan, I would suggest using it, as they make the "BEST" home fries :)

Tips:
- For perfectly crispy home fries, use a cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan.
- Cut your potatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the potatoes. Give them enough space to brown and crisp.
- Don't stir the potatoes too often. Let them sit in the pan undisturbed for a few minutes at a time, so that they can develop a nice crust.
- Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the home fries immediately after cooking, while they're still hot and crispy.
