Potato Home Fries

This month we are beginning our 50th edition of Blogging Marathon. I am so blessed to be a part of this amazing group started by Srivalli that ever keeps all the members motivated. I have learned so much from this group and still learning. Thanks to all the Srivalli and all the amazing members of the group. We are proud to say that we are one big virtual family who are always there for each other.

The theme that I chose for this week is ‘pick a chosen Wikipedia category and make three dishes from it’. I chose to make Potato dishes from the category and hence will be posting 3 different potato based dishes this week.

The first recipe I have here is the very famous breakfast potatoes also called the home fries. When we travel, we love to have breakfast in local diners or small joints. I love that they can make the dishes based on your preferences. Being vegetarians most of the time we have to skip these potatoes because they are pan fried in bacon fat.

I made these potato home fries in the oven and also added some onion and garlic for flavor and red bell pepper for color. The sweetness of the onion and bell pepper along with the crispy potatoes were awesome. I did not make these for breakfast but served this along with cheese quesadilla for dinner. I am going to be making these with sweet potatoes next time. Also I added some chili powder for spice and roasted cumin powder for added flavor.

What Kind of Potatoes to use 

Red potatoes would work great for this as you don’t have to peel the skin. It is traditionally made with the skin on, but since I did not have any red potatoes I made them with russet potatoes. I did peel the skin since they are quite thick. There are few recipes that calls to pre cook the potatoes until they are fork tender, but I chose not to since I have made French fries in the oven before and they worked great without any precooking.
