This home fries recipe makes crispy, golden, perfectly seasoned breakfast potatoes! Here’s how to whip them up at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds red or yellow potatoes (3 to 4 large)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced white onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes and cut them into a 3/4-inch cubes. Add to a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil 6 to 7 minutes until just fork tender.
  2. Drain in a strainer and allow to steam for 2 minutes. Then place them in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a very large stainless or cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt the 1 tablespoon butter with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring only occasionally until all sides are browned, about 10 minutes.
  4. Add the white onion and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cook for 5 minutes until the potatoes are browned on all sides. Top with green onions and serve hot. (Leftovers store 3 days refrigerated; reheat in a skillet before serving.)
