Home fries ingredients
- Diced Hash Brown Potatoes: Frozen, diced potatoes are convenient and cook up quickly for a crispy texture. No need to thaw beforehand. You can also use shredded potatoes.
- Avocado Oil: We like using this neutral oil with a high smoke point as it’s perfect for high-heat cooking and getting that perfect crispiness. Olive or vegetable oil can be used as alternatives.
- Paprika: We love this for the flavor, but also the color!
- Granulated Onion: You can use fresh diced onion, or make this an even easier meal by using granulated onion.
- Oregano: This is optional, but we love the earthiness it adds.
- Black Pepper: Freshly ground black pepper adds a touch of spiciness and enhances the overall seasoning. You can also add a bit of cayenne powder if you like your home fries with a bit of spice to them.
- Kosher Salt: We like to add the salt during cooking and a bit after if needed. You can always add more salt to taste.
How to make home fries
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the diced hash brown potatoes, then sprinkle in paprika, granulated onion, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Stir to coat the potatoes evenly with oil and seasonings. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fully cooked and reach your preferred level of crispiness, about 5-8 minutes.
Add more salt to taste, give a quick stir, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a side or snack.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
- For extra crispiness, allow the potatoes to sit undisturbed for a minute or so between stirs.
- Substitute avocado oil with olive or vegetable oil if preferred.
