HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Heat the remaining bacon fat and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until well browned on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes in small sections, and continue cooking, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes or until well browned. Stir in the onions, heat through, and sprinkle with the parsley and cayenne, if desired. Transfer to a warm platter and crumble the bacon on top, serve. Copyright 2005 Television Food Network, G.P.

BASIC HOME FRIES

Steps:

• If you like, scrub potatoes and cut into 1/2" cubes. Place in pan with water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, then drain and set aside. You may prep in advance, store them in fresh water in a tightly covered container in the reefigerator. Drain and dry completely befroe using. You don't need to bring to room temperature. I sometimes skip this part and cut smaller and throw into pan.
• Place a 10" skillet or saute pan over medium heat on stovetop. After a few minutes, add 1 tbls. of the olive oil(or enough to cover the bottom of the pan, wait about 10 seconds, then swirl to coat pan. Turn the heat up to medium high and add half the potatoes, spreading them into a single layer in the hot oil. Let cook a few minutes, then turn down the heat to medium and let cook, without stirring for 5-8 minutes. Resist stirring.
• Sprinkle in about 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and turn the potatoes over, using a metal spatula. I check to make sure they are getting nice and brown and crispy on the underside before turning. If they are not, let cook a few more minutes. Spread into a single layer and cook without stirring for another 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Scrape from the bottom to loosen the potatoes, and toss them around in the pan. Cook for another minute or two, then move them to a bowl, scraping out and saving all the tasty brown tidbits from the bottom of the pan. Repeat this procedure with the remaining potatoes, using another tbls. or so of the oil and another 1/8 teaspoons salt.
• After cooking the potatoes, scrape out the pan and wipe with a damp paper towel.(I sometimes skip wiping out the pan if it is fairly clean). Return pan to heat and when hot, add remaining tbls. of oil. You can also melt in a little margarine or butter if you like. Wait 10 seconds, then swirl to coat bottom of pan.
• Add the onions and saute over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes very soft. Sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt, along with herbs, bell peppers, and garlic. Continue to cook, stirring often, for another 5 minutes or so.
• Return the potatoes to the pan and stir them into the onion mixture. Saute over medium heat for another 5-10 minutes(more if needed), or until everything is done to your liking.
• Taste to adjust the salt, and grind in some fresh black pepper.
• Serve hot or warm, topped with your favorite toppiings. Enjoy!

HOME FRIES

Steps:

Remove bacon drippings from pan and reserve. , Working in batches, add 1/4 cup bacon drippings, potatoes, onion, salt and pepper to pan; toss to coat. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until potatoes are golden brown and tender, 15-20 minutes, adding more drippings as needed. Stir in cooked bacon; serve immediately.

BREAKFAST HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Shred the potatoes and onions (in a food processor or with a hand-held shredder), place them in a large bowl, add the vegetable oil, salt and pepper, and mix well.
• Oil 2 9-by-13-inch nonstick baking sheets and place the potato mixture on the sheets in 12 mounds. Flatten them to a thickness of 1/2 inch and form them into neat, round cakes. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the undersides of the cakes are browned. It is not necessary to turn the cakes. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool completely before lifting from the sheet.
• Wrap the cakes individually, place them on a flat sheet, and freeze. To use, defrost two or more cakes in the microwave (or overnight in the refrigerator) and fry on both sides in butter, bacon fat or oil until nicely browned. Alternatively, put the frozen cakes directly onto the rack of a toaster oven set for dark and toast until browned but not dry in the center.
