I stole this recipe for Oven Roasted Home Fries from cupcakes-and-sarcasm.com. These baked homes fries are very easy to make. Cubed potatoes are tossed with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. The seasoned potatoes are spread on a baking sheet. Flip the potatoes over once while baking. These potatoes can be a side dish or part of a breakfast or brunch menu. This recipe for home fries is healthier than the deep fried version served at restaurants.
Did you know? Home fries are potatoes that are sliced or diced and fried, often with finely chopped onions or green peppers. The potatoes can either be raw or boiled before slicing. They are also called cottage-fried potatoes.¹ (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)
For this recipe you will need 2 tsp olive oil, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder and 1 tsp black pepper.
Cube 2 lbs washed Russet Potatoes and add the potatoes to a large bowl. Then add the spices and olive oil to the potatoes.
Toss well to coat the potatoes.
Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, spreading out as much as you can.
Bake 20 minutes and then remove from oven and flip the potatoes, spreading into a single layer. Bake another 20 minutes or until the potatoes reach a desired crispness.
When done, sprinkle parsley over the home fries and toss. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.
