Combine, Season, and Serve
Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper along with the other spices, or sauté a chopped jalapeño with the onions and peppers.
In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese over the potatoes and let it melt.
Serve topped with crumbled cooked bacon, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped fresh chives.
Add 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary or thyme to the skillet along with the potatoes for a more aromatic flavor.
Potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, which provide a steady release of energy, making this a great dish to start your day.
Both bell peppers and potatoes are excellent sources of Vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports immune function and skin health.
The combination of potatoes, onions, and bell peppers offers a good amount of dietary fiber, which is essential for digestive health and promoting a feeling of fullness.
A typical serving of these home fries (about 1.5 cups) contains approximately 300-350 calories, primarily from the potatoes and cooking oil.
Home fries can be part of a balanced diet. They provide carbohydrates for energy and fiber from the potatoes and vegetables. However, they are pan-fried in oil, which increases the fat and calorie content. For a healthier version, you can reduce the amount of oil or try baking or air-frying them.
Yes. After par-boiling and drying the potatoes, toss them with 1-2 tablespoons of oil and the seasonings. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. You can sauté the onions and peppers separately and mix them in at the end.
Soggy home fries are usually caused by excess moisture. This can happen if you don't dry the potatoes well after boiling, if you overcrowd the pan (which steams them instead of frying), or if you add salt too early, which draws out water.
Absolutely. While Russets are great for their fluffy interior, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes are also excellent choices. They hold their shape well and develop a creamy texture.
No, peeling is optional. Leaving the skin on adds extra fiber, nutrients, and a slightly more rustic texture. Just be sure to scrub the potatoes thoroughly before cutting them.
