Everything about Home Fries totally explained
Home fries or
cottage fries are a type of basic
potato dish made by pan or skillet
frying diced, chunked, wedged or sliced potatoes (sometimes unpeeled) that have been
par-cooked by boiling, baking, steaming, or microwaving. The potatoes are cooled between the two stages. Thus, they differ from
french fries, which are cooked primarily by
deep-frying (short immersion in high temperature oil).
It is possible to make home fries without par-cooking the potatoes, the texture will be more chewy, but the cooking time is longer and it can be harder to prevent burning to the potato pieces. Home fries are also made as the name suggests as a simple homemade potato dish, that can be made even by people with modest cooking skills as a meal or a snack.
The frying is typically done in
vegetable oil or
butter. Other ingredients may be added. If chopped
onions and bell
peppers are added to diced potatoes it creates a dish referred to as
Potatoes O'Brien. If sliced potatoes and sliced onions are
sautéed together with
seasonings it can create a dish referred to as
Lyonnaise potatoes.
The consistency depends on the type of potato used. Although various types of white potatoes are the most popular base, sometimes waxy (usually red-skinned) or
sweet potatoes are used.
In North America, home fries are popular as a breakfast dish, they're sometimes served in place of hash browns. There are many ways people eat them, for example with a
condiment such as
ketchup or as a side dish to
ham and
eggs. In some locations, home fries are even used as a
pizza topping.
