Best Diner Home Fries From Leftover Baked Potatoes Recipes
DINER STYLE BAKED POTATO HOME FRIES
When I was working my way through college at a local diner, I learned that they used leftover baked potatoes from the dinner menu that they baked the day before. They always made extra baked potatoes so that they could use them for home fries the next morning. I discovered that that was the "secret" to having flaky, crispy home fries. Very easy to make.

Steps:
- Thoroughly wash potatoes and pierce with a fork. Microwave at baked potato setting until done.
- Slice potatoes as thinly as possible. Put onions and butter in large skillet on medium heat and cook until onions are translucent.
- Add potatoes and continue frying until the potatoes are browned around the edges. I like some of my potatoes to be on the crispy side. Season with salt and pepper.
- This is also a great way to use up left over baked potatoes. You could also add some chopped green pepper to the potatoes. If you are going to add green peppers, cook these with the onions before adding the potatoes.
DINER HOME FRIES FROM LEFTOVER BAKED POTATOES
In NJ and NY area, this is how many diners make their yummy homefries. The diners I worked at would begin by taking the baked potatoes leftover from dinner, unwrapping the aluminum foil, then cutting off the skins. Then they start slicing the potatoes for the breakfast crowd who are eagerly awaiting these wonderful home fries that go perfectly with their omelets, toast, and coffee filled breakfast. *If your looking for the 'perfect' baked potatoes, try Recipe #287636

PAT'S AMERICAN HOME FRIES
This is the best way I know to use up leftover baked potatoes from the previous evening's steak-fest. I've pretty much settled in on this recipe and it's served me well for about 30 years. My daughter always loved these for breakfast with some leftover hunks of re-heated grilled sirloin and a couple of over-medium eggs. And, this is a good, easy recipe for NEW CHEFS. Enjoy these for breakfast drenched in white gravy along with scrambled eggs.

Steps:
- Leave the peelings on the potatoes and dice into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Melt the butter and add the oil in a large no-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter/oil is hot, add in the diced potatoes and chopped onion.
- Fry until at least 1/2 of the sides have browned -- stirring and turning should be kept to an absolute minimum.
- Transfer the home fries to a serving plate with a couple of paper towels on it to absorb extra oil.
