Best Chunky Rustic Style Home Fries Recipes

SKIN ON FRIES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
• Slice the potatoes length ways as thick as you want your fries to be. Cut the potato slices into french fries. You can choose your desired thickness.
• Place the fries in a bowl, and cover with water. Leave the potatoes to soak for up to 24 hours, or ideally at least 1 hour.
• Preheat your oven to 425 F / 220 C.
• Drain off the water, and pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel. Coat with oil and seasoning.
• Place the french fries on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until crispy. Turn the fries once halfway through cooking to ensure an even result.

QUICK & CRISPY HOME FRIES

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.

HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover with water; bring to a boil over high heat. Salt the water. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook until potatoes have softened but are still slightly firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes; cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Cook bacon in a large skillet set over medium heat until all fat has been rendered and bacon is crisp and brown, about 15 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon; set aside on a paper towel to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Add reserved potatoes; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add reserved bacon, peppers, onion, and thyme; cook until vegetables have softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, and serve.

HEAVENLY COUNTRY-STYLE HOME FRIES

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.
