Easy Home Fries
Description
The preparation starts by cutting potatoes into ¾-inch cubes, then boiling them in cold water to achieve a tender but firm texture. After draining thoroughly, diced onions are cooked in butter until soft, then set aside. The potatoes are cooked in a mixture of butter and olive oil with seasoned salt and pepper in a skillet, encouraging browning and crisp edges over 15-20 minutes with occasional stirring.
Once the potatoes are golden and slightly crispy, the cooked onions are added back in to integrate their flavor and texture. The dish finishes with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley, offering color and a mild herbal contrast. This method balances soft interiors with crisp surfaces, perfect alongside eggs or other breakfast foods or as a side in other meals.
