HOME FRIES WITH ONIONS



Home Fries With Onions image

The recipe has been handed down at least three generations and it always gets oohs and aahs from my family when I decide to make it. I either serve it with steak or ham chops. Be careful when cooking the potatoes as they sometimes pop right out of the skillet. One of those screen covers would work really well.

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large russet potatoes
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons canola oil, divided use
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided use
1 small onion, sliced thin
parsley (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Microwave potatoes as you would for a baked potato, but cook until*slightly* underdone- 4 take 12-14 minutes on my microwave (or use leftover baked/cooked potatoes).
  • When cool enough to handle, quarter potatoes and then cut into about 1 inch pieces (we leave the skins on).
  • Heat 2 tbl of butter or oil in a large non-stick skillet (or if you just cooked bacon in the pan, you can reserve some of the bacon grease and use that to fry in).
  • On medium heat, add onions and cook until 1 or 2 minutes before adding potatoes, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
  • Let cook for a few minutes, flipping or stirring gently, until onions are tender and potatoes are to desired crispness.
  • If necessary, add additional butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  • Remove home fries from pan and transfer into microwavable casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle with one cup of cheese and fold in gently.
  • Sprinkle remaining cup of cheese on top and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Sprinkle a bit of parsley on top, if desired.

HEAVENLY COUNTRY-STYLE HOME FRIES



Heavenly Country-Style Home Fries image

These country-style home fries are a wonderful accompaniment to any breakfast, brunch or (in my family's case) breakfast for dinner. They turn out buttery and savory with a crispy brown outer coating. I like to serve these home fries when I make breakfast for dinner for my family. We enjoy them with a juicy, smokey ham steak cooked in my cast iron skillet with a side of baby peas. Yum!

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
3 large potatoes, diced, unpeeled (white or red)
1 medium onions, chopped or 1 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place diced potatoes, onion, paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Toss to evenly coat the potatoes.
  • In a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Increase skillet heat to medium-high and add potato mixture. Toss to coat evenly with butter.
  • Cover skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning and scraping the potatoes to prevent burning.
  • When potatoes are fork-tender, remove skillet cover.
  • With the back of your spatula, pat potatoes down into an even layer in skillet. Allow to fry untouched for 2 minutes. Then turn potatoes over and do the same for another 2 minutes. This will nicely brown and crisp the outside of the potatoes.
  • Serve immediately.

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.
