Ingredients
- 2 1/2 tablespoons corn or peanut oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped into small pieces
- 1 small red bell pepper, chopped into small pieces
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into a rough dice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and set aside.
-
Meanwhile, place the diced potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with 1/2-inch of water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and place over high heat. As soon as the water begins to boil, after about 5 minutes, drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
-
Heat the butter and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in the now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams. Add the potatoes in a single layer, making sure each potato is touching the surface of the skillet. Cook, without stirring, until one side of the potatoes is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully turn the potatoes with a thin spatula. Spread the potatoes in a single layer and repeat the process again until the potatoes are tender and browned on most sides, turning 3 to 4 times, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the onion mixture, the paprika, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to blend then serve immediately.
Home fres are the best!!! These look awesome.
Those could not look more amazing!! I’ve never made home fries, but we have eggs every weekend, and man would these be a fantastic addition!
Don’t you know, we can ship to you from The Container Store?
This sounds so good! My fiance and I love to go out to breakfast whenever we have a free weekend morning together, and it’s so hard to find tasty home fries. I’ll be trying this soon!
You can also microwave the potatoes for 2-3 minutes instead of having to boil them. Looks yummy!
Can i use green onions instead of normal onions?
You could but I’d definitely recommend sticking with the regular onions.
The directions for the home fries wont show
