How to Make Brit's Cheesy Onion Home Fries

  1. Microwave 2 pounds of potatoes (about 4 medium) until almost tender, but slightly undercooked – approximately 12-14 minutes in most microwaves. Let cool completely.
  2. Once cool, quarter the potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter or oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring gently every few minutes, until onions are tender and potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Add more butter or oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  6. Transfer the home fries to a microwave-safe casserole dish.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the potatoes and gently fold in.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top.
  9. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
