Home fries are your regular potatoes which are either sliced or cubed. I add chopped up onions along with the normal salt and pepper spices along with paprika. Instead of deep frying your potatoes you grease up the surface of your frying pan / skillet, scour a little oil over the potatoes themselves, and then cook your potatoes in that manner constantly flipping them pancake style. The best way, in my opinion, to make the absolute most authentic home fries is to make them from baked potatoes, then go through the procedure that I mentioned above. At least that's how I like to do it.

You can make them on the Steakhouse dry side :



Or Diner/Luncheonette style which is on the greasey side :




Both ways are delicious!
