Crispy Home Fries

Crispy Home Fries are a potato-must for Sunday brunch or a dinner side dish. This home fries recipe helps make the perfect crispy potatoes and pairs them with onion, garlic and mild seasoning. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, these are the best potatoes.

Ingredients :

• 2-3 large russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil , divided
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter , divided
• 1/2 cup white onion , chopped
• 2 cloves garlic , minced
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1. Scrub the potatoes well, peel if desired, and then cut into half-inch cubes.
2. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water, adding 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Cover and bring the pot to a boil.
3. When boiling, uncover and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cubes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain well in a colander.
4. While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet. Add the onions, sauteing until just soft and fragrant, then add the garlic, sauteing for another minute. Remove from the skillet to a plate, set aside.
5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the same large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer. This might require working in batches and additional oil and butter. Allow the potatoes to brown evenly on each side, crisping up. Remove cooked potatoes to a plate while you finished the other batch(es).
6. Add the potatoes, cooked onions and garlic, seasoned salt and pepper back to the skillet and toss to combine and reheat.
7. Serve hot.
