How to Make Sweet Potato Home Fries

  1. Peel 1 pound russet potatoes and 1 pound sweet potatoes. Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. Place russet and sweet potato slices in separate saucepans. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly tender but still firm when pierced with a knife (10-15 minutes).
  4. Drain potatoes thoroughly and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool completely.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons paprika and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add 1/3 of the potatoes to the skillet and cook undisturbed until golden brown (5-8 minutes).
  8. Gently stir with a wooden spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  9. Add 1/3 of the paprika mixture, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped shallots, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Cook until potatoes are crispy and nicely colored (1-2 minutes).
  11. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup chopped scallions and transfer to a platter.
  12. Repeat steps 6-11 with the remaining potatoes and ingredients.
  13. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve immediately. Enjoy!
