How to Make Heavenly Country Style Home Fries

  1. Peel and dice 2 pounds of russet potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced potatoes, ½ medium yellow onion (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the potato mixture to the skillet and toss to coat with the melted butter.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom to prevent sticking.
  6. Once the potatoes are fork-tender, remove the skillet cover.
  7. Using the back of a spatula, gently press the potatoes into an even layer in the skillet.
  8. Fry untouched for 2 minutes.
  9. Flip the potatoes and fry for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
