What Type of Potato is Best for Home Fries?
We like to use russet potatoes for home fries. They are very starchy will helps them to become soft and creamy as they cook and they can also develop a nice crispness. Not to mention, they also absorb spices well.

Can I make these ahead of time and reheat. If I make ahead, should I only partially bake
Chrysa says
I haven’t tried making them ahead of time, but I think your idea to only partially bake is a good one. That way when you go back to reheat them they still have a chance to get nice and crispy without drying out.
Niza says
Should I cook these crispy oven baked home fries covered or uncovered?
Chrysa says
Uncovered.

I like mine crispy also. I hate cooking them on the stove because it takes so much oil. Then they just taste like oil. I will have to try your recipe. If I can make them a little healthier then we might have them more often. Thanks!

Yum, I love the addition of onions, peppers and garlic to potatoes. It gives it that southwestern charm! I like having them as a breakfast side. I haven’t tried baking to get the extra crisp taste, just stir-frying them in a pan, but this might work just as well and it would require less time at the stove. A flip in between might just be enough to get them the preferable way. Thanks for sharing!

I have never considered using peppers with a potato dish like that. I would have to make the slices big enough for Boo to pull out, though.
