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.

These home fries were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but the home fries turned out a bit too mushy for my taste. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I thought the home fries were a bit bland. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder and they were much better.

The home fries were good, but they didn't have the same flavor as the ones from my favorite diner. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These home fries were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These diner-style baked potato home fries were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just like the ones from our favorite diner. I'll definitely be making these again.
