American Home Fries
Home fries have become a staple for any American breakfast. Cooked with fresh onions and garlic, the flavors go perfect with your eggs and bacon. Add salt and pepper, or enjoy with a side of ketchup. Potato recipes are the best breakfast side.
Ingredients
- 2 russet potatoes, rinsed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, optional
- 2 1/2 tablespoon to 3 tablespoons of butter
- salt and pepper, to taste
- paprika, to taste
Instructions
-
Chop the potatoes into slices.
-
In a well seasoned cast iron pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place a single layer of potato slices on the bottom of the pan.
-
Add a light layer of sliced onion and minced garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add another layer of potatoes, more butter, another layer of onion slices and garlic, and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Keep layering until you've used up your potatoes onions and garlic.
-
Lower the heat to medium and cover the pan. Let cook for about 10 minutes, until the potato layer at the bottom is nicely browned.
-
Gently flip the potatoes over, a section of the pan at a time, so that the layer that was on the top is now on the bottom, and the browned potatoes are now on the top.
-
Add another tablespoon of butter, chopped into seperate chunks. Cover and let cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the bottom layer is browned.
- Once the bottom layer is browned, remove the lid of the pan and let continue to cook for 5 more minutes.
