How to Make Pat's American Home Fries

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) to keep the cooked fries warm while you finish.
  2. Leave the peelings on the potatoes and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Once the butter and oil are hot (but not smoking), add the diced potatoes and 1/2 cup of chopped onion.
  5. Fry the potatoes, stirring and turning only minimally, until at least half of the sides are nicely browned. This should take about 15-20 minutes, depending on your stove and the size of your cubes.
  6. Transfer the home fries to a serving plate lined with a couple of paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Place the plate in the preheated oven to keep warm.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast accompaniments, such as leftover grilled steak, eggs, and white gravy.
