How to Make Fat Free Skillet Home Fries

  1. In a large, heavy nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 cup (120ml) low-sodium vegetable broth to a boil.
  2. Add 2 pounds (900g) potatoes, diced; 1/4 cup (20g) chopped scallions; 1 teaspoon onion salt; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon dried sage; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  3. Cover and cook over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
