Learn how to make crispy home fries in a skillet. This easy recipe uses Yukon Gold potatoes for a tender inside and golden-brown exterior. Perfect as a breakfast side or a versatile addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Chives or other fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak Yukon Gold potatoes in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and dry them thoroughly.
  2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Whisk together water, canola oil, and kosher salt. Add the potatoes in an even layer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Uncover the skillet and stir in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Cover again and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Uncover and let the potatoes cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to crisp the bottoms. Mix in the second tablespoon of butter and add paprika.
  5. Spread the potatoes into an even layer and cook for an additional 6 minutes. Stir every 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Sprinkle with additional kosher salt and serve hot. Garnish with optional freshly ground pepper and chives or fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are dried thoroughly after rinsing to prevent sticking and achieve optimal crispiness.
  • A heavy skillet, like cast iron, is recommended for even heat retention and better crisping.
  • Avoid constant stirring to allow the potatoes to form a crust.
  • Adjust cooking times to achieve your desired level of crispiness.
  • Experiment with additional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Consider using olive oil instead of canola oil for a Mediterranean twist.
  • Sweet potatoes can be used for a sweeter variation.
  • Add cheese in the last few minutes of cooking for a cheesy delight.
  • Fold in crispy bacon bits after cooking for added flavor.
  • Sprinkle with lemon zest before serving for a refreshing zing.
