Home Fries

(House Fries, American Fries)

Home fries is a popular American side dish made by frying larger chunks of potatoes in butter or oil until they are crispy and golden in color. The potatoes might sometimes be unpeeled, and they are often shortly boiled or steamed before frying.


Home fries are often paired with onions and peppers in the same pan. The dish can be consumed on its own with some salt as a snack, or as a crispy breakfast accompaniment.
