Eggs and home fries have a special place in my heart as a breakfast food. Its my breakfast/lunch at lease a once a week. Goes great with hot sauce too :)
The recipe in the picture is loosely based on Adam Regusea’s home fries recipe. Main difference is that I don’t parboil the potatoes. I prefer to cook the potatoes from raw, i prefer the final texture more that way.
Give me this for breakfast every morning and I will never get tired of eating it.
Definitely, the only downside is this recipe takes me a good 30 minuts of hands on time to make. When I’m not having this im a granola and oatmeal for breakfast kind of person. Much easier and quicker, but not quite as tasty haha.
Using Potatoes O’Brien from the frozen section of the grocery store could definitely speed it up!
At the cost of some quality, of course. Nothing like homemade
I do this on the weekend, in fact, just did very similar today. I can give two tips:
If you microwave potatoes first (poke holes) to par-cook them, then you just need to get them crispy. I usually don’t, and just start with potatoes at medium in before the oil has really heated , stirring every 5 minutes for the first 20 or so, then more often when they get to crisping. The best is definitely using leftover baked potatoes or roasted potatoes from the night before.
Second, if you have an air fryer, that’s increasingly my go to. We have a basket style, I coat in a little oil or use veg spray, and roast around 350 for 10-15, and then turn it up to 400 once the potatoes are tender for color.
Neither of these are weekdays for me, but I can throw this together on weekends where I mostly don’t have to do anything.
