Home fries in minutes

Home fries are a classic breakfast side dish that can be easily prepared in just a few minutes. Using simple ingredients like potatoes, butter, salt, and pepper, you can create a delicious and hearty dish that complements any meal. Follow this recipe to make perfect home fries every time.

Ingredients:

3 potatoes
1110g
3 tbsp butter
44g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into small, evenly-sized cubes, approximately 1/2-inch.
2. Pre-cook the Potatoes:
- To ensure an even cook, you can parboil the potato cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook them for 5-7 minutes until they are just starting to become tender.
- Drain the potatoes well and let them dry slightly.
3. Cook the Potatoes:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter is melted and starting to foam, add the parboiled potato cubes to the skillet.
- Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning, for about 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
4. Season the Potatoes:
- Season the home fries with a dash of black pepper and a dash of salt.
- Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the home fries to a serving dish.
- Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite breakfast, brunch, or any meal.

Tips:

- For evenly cooked potatoes, make sure to cut them into similar-sized pieces.

- Adding a lid while cooking can help the potatoes cook faster and more evenly.

- If you prefer crispier home fries, let them sit in the pan without stirring for a few minutes to create a nice crust.

- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices for additional flavor.

With just a few simple ingredients and a little cooking time, you can enjoy delicious home fries that offer a perfect balance of crispy and tender textures. Whether you serve them for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for dinner, these home fries are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
