How to Make Chunky Rustic Style Home Fries
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add 2 pounds of cubed potatoes (about 1-inch cubes) to the skillet. Toss to coat with butter. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover the skillet.
- Cook for 20 minutes, undisturbed. You should hear only a faint sizzle.
- Uncover the potatoes and cook for another 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes and gently pressing them back down into the pan to ensure even browning.
- When you turn the potatoes the first time, stir in 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, 1/2 medium bell pepper (any color), chopped, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional).
- As the potatoes soften, continue to gently press them down, maximizing their contact with the skillet without mashing them.
- Cook for about 20 more minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
- During the last 10 minutes, increase the heat to medium and add more salt and pepper to taste.
- The home fries are ready when the potatoes are richly browned and crispy on the outside, with tender, melting centers.
- Remove from heat and immediately serve. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives, if desired.
