Homefries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until just tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Allow them to fry for about 5-7 minutes without stirring, until they start to brown.

  5. 5

    Season and Stir

    Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika over the potatoes. Use a spatula to gently stir and flip the potatoes, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot as a side dish.
