Rustic Grilled Home Fries Recipes

SEASONED GRILLED FRIES

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with cold water in a large saucepan and cook until almost tender. Drain and dry the potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into quarters. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush both sides of the potatoes with oil. Combine the chili powder, salt, and cumin in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the potatoes. Grill the potato wedges for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve with ketchup.

DINER-STYLE BAKED POTATO HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes well and pierce with a fork. Cook on full power in microwave oven for 5 minutes; turn the potatoes over and cook 5 more minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and set aside to cool. Thinly slice the cooled potatoes.
• Cook and stir the butter and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Gently place the potatoes into the skillet and fry, carefully flipping the potatoes a few times, until slices are browned around the edges. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

CHEF JOHN'S COTTAGE FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
• Combine potatoes, salt, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and herbes de provence in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and stir to evenly coat.
• Place potatoes on baking sheet, spaced evenly, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven, flip over each potato slice, and return to the oven for another 15 minutes. Continue cooking and flipping until potatoes are well browned, about 30 minutes. Potatoes should be crispy around edges, but still soft in the center.

TWICE-COOKED RUSTIC FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Wash and gently scrub potatoes under cold running water to remove any excess dirt and thick skin. Poke with a fork to make holes all over - this allows the moisture to escape while baking. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, season with salt and place into preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a paring knife goes through cleanly but the potato is still firm to touch.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool so you can handle them. Cut into large wedges and lay out in a single layer to dry slightly before dusting with a little potato starch. Turn them over and dust again.
• Heat some oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the potatoes in batches for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and season with salt immediately.

CHUNKY RUSTIC-STYLE HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Warm the butter in a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
• Stir in the potatoes, and when coated with a bit of butter, season them with salt and pepper and cover the skillet.
• Cook for 20 minutes, during which you should hear only a faint cooking sound.
• Uncover the potatoes and cook for 30 minutes longer, turning them at 10 minute intervals and patting them back down.
• When you turn them the first time, stir in the onion, bell peppers, and chili powder if desired.
• As the potatoes soften, pat them down more lightly, bringing as much of their surface in contact with the skillet as possible without mashing them.
• Cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes longer, turning them at 5-minute intervals.
• During the last 10 minutes, bring the heat up to medium and, if you wish, add more salt and pepper.
• The home fries are ready when the potato cubes are richly browned and clearly crisp with tender, melting centers.
• Plate them up immediately, scatter with chives if you wish, and serve.
