Introduction

Perfect home fries are crisp on the outside and soft and tender on the inside, serving as a foil to the other dishes you're preparing for breakfast. Parboil the potatoes the night before, so that you're ready to make home fries as soon as you wake up in the morning.

Step 1: What You Need to Make Home Fries

Lay out all of the ingredients before you begin.

Step 2: How to Make Home Fries
- Parboiling the potatoes is on of the tricks to getting the potatoes soft on the inside. You can do the parboiling the night before, and keep the potatoes overnight in the refrigerator, if you'd like to speed up the home fries preparation in the morning.
1. Place the quartered potatoes in a pot.
2. Cover with water.
3. Bring water to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Do not over cook.
5. Drain, and chop the potatoes into chunks about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch.
6. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a frying pan large enough to hold the potatoes and onion.
7. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft.
8. Add the chopped potatoes, and cook slowly until the potatoes and onions are browned to your likely.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Home Fries Variations
1. Substitute bacon or olive oil for the butter.
2. Add a tablespoon of tarragon while sautéing the potatoes.
3. Use red potatoes, and leave the skin on.
4. Score the surface of the potatoes with a fork after parboiling if you'd like the home fries to soak up more butter.
