How to Make Home Fries
- Wash and scrub 2 lbs russet potatoes thoroughly. Do not peel.
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. This parboiling process helps create extra crispy fries.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and let them cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes and thinly sliced yellow onion.
- Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
- Gently toss everything together with your hands until potatoes are evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
- Add the potato mixture to the skillet and spread it out in a single layer.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown.
- Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
