1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion

SPICY BREAKFAST HOME FRIES



Spicy Breakfast Home Fries image

This is something I just kind of cooked up one day. This is a great side dish to a hearty breakfast and the leftovers in the pan are great to cook your eggs in. The amount of spices you put in really are to taste, but I can give the approximate amounts that I use. NOTE: Instead of cooking this in olive oil, bacon drippings can be used.

HOMEMADE CRISPY SEASONED FRENCH FRIES



Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries image

My family loves French fries and with 4 children the bag fries from the store just weren't enough and became too expensive. So I tried batter - after all it makes chicken, shrimp, and onion rings crispy so why not potatoes. Now even my husband can't get enough of these French fries. They even stay crispy when you reheat in the microwave.

Provided by Cassie

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup water, or as needed
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
  • Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for home fries, as they hold their shape well and have a fluffy texture when cooked.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1/2-inch thick and 2 inches long.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the potatoes while keeping the inside fluffy.
  • Stir the potatoes frequently: This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Serve the home fries hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Spicy Classic Home Fries are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create the perfect home fries every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
