How to Make Matt's Crusty Home Fries
- Peel and cut 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a crispy crust.
- Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. Work in batches if necessary.
- Cook the potatoes undisturbed for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Do not move them around too much during cooking.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper during the last minute of cooking.
- Remove the fries from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crispy home fries!
