Homefries

[Anonymous No.9829367]

I just made homefries from scratch for the first time, and they came out amazing!

It's so easy to do too! I can't believe I waited this long to make these on my own.

What would you suggest that I add to them? I was thinking next time I might dice up some peppers and onions and add them near the end before it's finished.

Pic related, it's the homefries I made about an hour ago.

>>9829464
Yes they are. Cubed up, thrown in oil with butter, and I added some spices paprika, ground pepper, and kosher salt. I had this garlic and herb spice I added to it as well that gave it a really lovely flavor.

[Anonymous No.9829482]

>>9829470
>parboil
I'm going to try this method next time and then use my cast iron skillet to finish them off. I used Paprika, Ground Pepper, Kosher Salt, This McCormick Garlic and Herb Spice, oh and cayenne pepper. Which I forgot to mention in my last post.

And thank you they were amazing! Can't wait for my friends and girlfriend to try them next time I make them. I'm trying to perfect simple, awesome breakfast.

[Anonymous No.9829484]

Oh but sorry I forgot to mention that I kept them in a pan with the oil and butter and let them sit for a little while before stirring them a bit.

Yeah the recipe I saw didnt mention oil, but it was recommended in the comment section. I just kind of threw some butter on top and mixed it around the potatoes before it completely liquified.

Thanks!

I basically used this recipe but used oil and butter instead of just butter like it says here

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/71803/quick-and-easy-home-fries/

However I stirred/flipped them a bit more than it says to but the crispness happens when you just let it sit for about five minutes at a time. I kept tasting them until I reached the desired level of crispness. Before covering it the first time I made sure to add paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, garlic and herb spice from mccorcmick, freshly ground pepper, and kosher salt. Once they were crispy and done I scooped them out from the oil, which by the end there wasnt much of. I dont know how much oil i used exactly but it was just enough to barely cover the cubed potatoes at first.

Im so happy to be able to inspire you! I was thinking today about this one breakfast place and how much I love it there, but what I get is always simple cheap stuff like scrambled eggs, homefries, and bacon. I figured I could probably make the homefries better myself, so I decided to try making it for myself tonight! I'm glad I tried it!

I’ve always just called them hashbrowns. Only ever heard them called “home fries” on the internet, so I guess it’s a regional thing.

[Anonymous No.9829624]

Hahah, thank you for your concern. Ive been posting here on and off for about a year now. Other boards even longer. I like this board because I don't always have to be my shitposty self.

[Anonymous No.9829633]

>>9829619
It could be a regional thing, however hash browns tend to be more shredded up. Pic related is more or less what I get when I ask for hashbrowns somewhere.

Whenever I go out to eat somewhere new for breakfast I always hope that the hashbrowns and or home fries are crispy and not soggy. Sometimes its a toss up depending where you go or how busy they are.

[Anonymous No.9829642]

>>9829630
It seemed worth it to me. I mean the most effort I put into it was cubing them up, and that didn't take long. I had all of the spices near me in the cubbard up above. For many people who want to make something quick in 10 minutes or less, I'd agree maybe not. However I could probably impress a whole buttload of people with these the next time I make breakfast for others. They're really good without any sauce needed.

[Anonymous No.9829649]

>>9829633
Yeah, I also call those hashbrowns, just a different style of them. The kind you call homefries I might attatch the prefix home-made to if I’m trying to differentiate them though. “Homefries” just sounds weird to me. Oh well, I think we can all agree on calling them “delicious”. I like to do mine in rendered bacon fat and maybe with a little chipotle chili powder for a more smokey flavor.

[Anonymous No.9829656]

ooh chipotle chilli powder sounds awesome! I'm probably going to try the bacon fat next chance I get, I was reading that it makes their flavor really great!

Fried potatoes guy here. I also call those hashbrowns. Fried potatoes to me are diced and done in a skillet. French fries are cut and done completely submerged in oil. I just fucking love potatoes but I actually don't like hashbrowns. Texture I assume.

yeah the texture is weird to me. Whenever I have them at a breakfast place that i'm at I usually have them add peppers and onions to it and I like to mix it in with my eggs. Otherwise they aren't my favorite alone.

[Anonymous No.9829663]

>>9829657
They're fried in a skillet or wok, buddy. At least that's how I do it.

[Anonymous No.9829665]

>>9829657
They aren't made in the oven though. Google Home fries and you'll find something similar.

It is interesting that the name seems to be different depending on what region or country you're in.

This thread certainly went a lot better than I expected.

Cooking is probably one of the most rewarding things you can do, if you're not bringing joy to others while doing it, you're at least experimenting and bringing joy to yourself. Especially if what you cook ends up being good. A lot of the best shit to cook is super simple too, as i'm just realizing.

[Anonymous No.9829742]

>>9829708

Obviously not. But it's an, hmm, unconventional combination, let's say.

Crispiness, if you're using a frypan (as it should be, rather than deepfry which isn't very healthy btw) can be easily obtained by "frying them twice": remove them from the pan when they're done, let them rest a minute, put them in again for another minute.

[Anonymous No.9829747]

>>9829367

A little garlic, a little diced green onion, maybe some roasted peppers, a little cilantro. Maybe some goat cheese and bacon.

[Anonymous No.9829748]

>>9829367
Onions are delicious in them, diced bell pepper would go well. I usually would just sprinkle a little salt and have them aside some egg when my dad used to make them for me. He called them raw fries and sliced the potato rather than dicing but otherwise, same exact thing.

Cause it has retained some of the aroma of the pork chop. But seems to me like adding the butter to heated oil will have it evaporating pretty fast, unless you throw in the butter and the potatoes when the oil is still mild but then again the potatoes would be absorbing too much fat for my liking.

I think I'd do it separately. Fry the potatoes normally in oil, let them sweat the oil, and in a separate pan cook in butter some thick bacon f.i and it's almost done throw in some sliced green pepper, the potatoes and some spices of choice for a final touch.

[Anonymous No.9831080]

I'm assuming you're uncomfortable with cooking meat because I was in your shoes at one point. Put literally any sausage in with it, in addition to the peppers and onions. Kielbasa/Summer sausage is great especially the bits that get a bit overfried.

[Anonymous No.9832334]

>>9831070
Hells yeah! That sounds amazing. Im doing this next time for sure. Thank you! I figured it probably wouldn't be a good idea to add the onion until the end so it make sense to do it ten minutes after. >>9831080
