tip to get potatoes done inside without burning outside: when you have the outside browned to your tastes toss a little less than a 1/4th cup water on them and pop a lid on the skillet. Cook them covered until the water is steam about 5 minutes more. And good grief, put some onions in there! And garlic salt in the last few minutes…yummy!

You should consider electricity and gas expenditures, too.

I fixed the home fried potatoes last night, of course I had to up the anty cause I was cooking for 7 but they are awesome!!
With an adjustment or two (very minor) they are the bomb with grilled chicken.

Thanks for the ideas…

You are brilliant, my friend I admire your devotion to your craft.

Thanks for the home fried potatoes recipe.

Foolish me…I put frozen hashbrowns on the shopping list for breakfast. My wife insisted that we not get it because of all the hydrogenated junk. (We should talk some time about all that tuna — moderated doses only, so my teen daughter says).

Anyways one day a small, trendy, pathetic bag of organic hashbrowns appears in the freezer…probably cost $3 bucks!

So, as we speak, I am doing a timing test between these frozen organic matchstixs and your fresh home fries. I know you’re gonna win, because theirs are frozen and yours are fresh. So whatever time is gained with the precooking is gonna be lost because they’re frozen.

Test complete. Same time for both, but you win 5-1 on taste.

My one suggestion is a veggie slicer (I think the fancy name is mandoline) to quickly get thin potatoes slices ready for dicing, especially in the AM.

Great site, awesome effort! Down with frozen hashbrowns!

P.S.
Have you ever tried the avocado burritos at Campos in Santa Monica? That is one food I would pay FedEx for!

Leftover baked potatoes make great home fries. Stick them in fridge overnight. Dice–skin and all.

I don’t know if this already posted but, potatoes are WAY cheaper than your recipe says. Here in ontario we can pay 1 dollar for ten pounds of med to large potatoes.
