SPICY CLASSIC HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 2 tablespoons of salt and the potatoes, bring to a boil and cook, until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until it begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring a few times, until soft and lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Add the remaining oil and the butter to the pan, increase the heat to high and heat until the butter has melted and the oil is sizzling. Add the potatoes and chile powder and season with salt and pepper and immediately press down into an even layer on the bottom on the pan, using a wide metal spatula. Cook, pressing down occasionally and not turning, until the potatoes on the bottom are golden brown and crusty, about 5 minutes. Turn the potatoes over, press down again and cook until the potatoes on the bottom are golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the onions, season with more salt and pepper, transfer to a shallow bowl or a platter and garnish with green onion and cilantro.

• Add contents of ziplock bag to the pan with the onions and garlic.
• Mix the ingredients in the pan and cook for 10 minutes with the cover on to soften the potatoes, stirring occasionally to prevent the potatoes from sticking.

• When 10 minutes is up, add the ketchup on the top of the layer of potatoes and mix well. Cover and cook for another minute. Serve.

SPICY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes fall apart when a fork is inserted, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well.
• Heat the butter over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the ancho chile powder and stir until combined. Add the potatoes, salt and pepper and toss the mixture, slightly mashing the potatoes with a metal spatula. Press the potato mixture into one even layer and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Turn over and gently mash again into an even layer and cook until the bottom is golden brown. Stir in the cilantro and lime zest and transfer to a bowl.

QUICK & CRISPY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Arrange potato pieces evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until just tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts and starts to turn brown, swirl the pan and add the potatoes. Shake pan to arrange in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• As potatoes brown, toss them and keep turning them every few minutes until they are crusty and crispy-edged and a rich reddish-brown color, 10 to 12 minutes. If potatoes seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium. Serve topped with chopped chives.
