Linda's Awesome Home Fries Recipe

"I was looking for a little added flavor in my home fries this morning and created this luscious recipe. They were awesome! I splurged and had them with fried eggs and toast for a delicious weekend breakfast. Great flavor and just a little spiciness from the seasoning. They are really tasty! I cooked these on medium-high, and from the starting of peeling the onion to putting them on my plate was 45 minutes, so if you cook them on high it is going to take less time, and if you cook them on medium it's going to take longer. Medium-high worked perfect for me, as it browned the home fries nicely and didn't scorch the onions! See my picture. If you have a large cast iron frying pan, I would suggest using it, as they make the "BEST" home fries :)"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large cast iron frying pan add olive oil.

Step 2

Fry sliced onions on medium-high, for about 5 minutes and stir often so they don't stick.

Step 3

Push onions to one side of the frying pan, and add raw chopped potatoes. Cook potatoes and onions turning often to brown evenly. When potatoes are a golden brown, mix onions in with potatoes.
