Brits Cheesy Onion Home Fries Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY BACON, PEPPERS AND CHEESE HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Leave the potatoes in the bag and cook them in the microwave for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so they aren't too soft (they will cook in the pan, plus, you'll need to break them down further). Remove from the bag and let cool until cool enough to handle, then cut the larger potatoes into sixths and the smaller ones into fourths.
• In a mid-sized pan on the stovetop or on a grill on medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside. Add the butter to the bacon fat. Once it has melted, add the potatoes in one layer if possible. (If not, do the potatoes in batches.) Cook the potatoes on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes, then toss and repeat. Do this a few times; if doing in batches, you can pile the cooked potatoes on the side of the pan while the new ones get attention. Once the potatoes are almost done, push them all to the sides of the pan.
• To the center of the pan add the peppers, onions, steak seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook the veggies, stirring, until the peppers and onions are tender but still have some crunch, about 5 minutes. Add the bacon back to the pan and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the scallions.

CRISPY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes. Cut onion into 2 or 3 slices, then cut rings in half and separate the layers.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed potatoes to the hot skillet and season with garlic salt and seasoned salt. Spread them out evenly over the bottom and allow to cook for 5 to 8 minutes without turning. Turn, and continue cooking, turning every 5 to 8 minutes, until evenly browned.
• When potatoes have reached the desired color, add onion. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until onion is slightly cooked, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
• Carefully remove potatoes and onions from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool for 2 to 5 minutes before serving.

LOADED HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the onions, potatoes and garlic: In a large bowl, toss the onions in 2 tablespoons oil, season generously with salt and pepper and spread on one side of a sheet pan. In the same bowl, toss the potatoes in 1 tablespoon oil, season generously with salt and pepper and spread on the other side of the sheet pan. Toss the garlic in the same bowl with a little oil, season with salt and pepper and add to the sheet pan. Bake in the center of the oven until completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 40 minutes. Set aside to let cool.
• Cook the peppers: In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons oil until hot. Add the peppers with a generous pinch of salt and cook over medium heat until tender and slightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Cook the home fries: Add the onions and garlic to the peppers and stir to combine. "Crush" and break the potatoes into pieces with your hands or the bottom of a pan and add them and any juices from the pan to the peppers and onions. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Cook the potato mixture over medium-high heat until the bottom is browned, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the Parmesan and vinegar. Top with the Cheddar. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the cheese is browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt just before serving.

CHEESY OVEN ROASTED FINGERLING FRIES

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss together the halved potatoes, olive oil, butter, garlic salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
• Tear 4 large sheets of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil, each about 16 inches long. Divide the potato mixture evenly between the sheets of foil. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place the packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Cook for 25 minutes.
• Remove one packet from the oven. Open packet carefully by cutting along top fold with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape; then open top of foil packet. Check to see if the potatoes are fully cooked and fork tender; if not, return to the oven for 5 more minutes.
