Make Crispy Home Fries just like at the restaurant at home. My recipe is super crispy, but also has a secret ingredient guaranteed to make these the best breakfast potatoes ever!
Scrub the potatoes well, peel if desired, and then cut into half-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water, adding 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Cover and bring the pot to a boil.
When boiling, uncover and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cubes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain well in a colander.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet. Add the onions, sauteing until just soft and fragrant, then add the garlic, sauteing for another minute. Remove from the skillet to a plate, set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the same large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer. This might require working in batches and additional oil and butter. Allow the potatoes to brown evenly on each side, crisping up. Remove cooked potatoes to a plate while you finished the other batch(es).
Add the potatoes, cooked onions and garlic, seasoned salt and pepper back to the skillet and toss to combine and reheat.
Serve hot.
