Quick & Crispy Home Fries image

In order to get a crispy crust like the fries at your local diner you need to precook and cool them. When you pan fry a cold starch, it gets a beautifully crispy surface.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
ΒΌ teaspoon paprika
cayenne pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch onion powder
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Arrange potato pieces evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until just tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts and starts to turn brown, swirl the pan and add the potatoes. Shake pan to arrange in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • As potatoes brown, toss them and keep turning them every few minutes until they are crusty and crispy-edged and a rich reddish-brown color, 10 to 12 minutes. If potatoes seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium. Serve topped with chopped chives.

I've made these home fries several times now and they are always a hit! My family loves them and they are so easy to make. I usually use Yukon Gold potatoes, but I have also used russet potatoes and they both turn out great.

These home fries were easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of Yukon Gold and russet potatoes and they were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I also added some diced onion and garlic to the mix, and it was a great addi
