Thick-Cut Home Fries

This is a quick and easy side dish that everyone will love even picky eater. These home fries are my mothers recipes that she's made for years.

Here original home fries use russet potatoes but I had yellow potatoes left over from making gnocchi last week so I decided to use them.  The golden potatoes have a little more flavor and slightly sweeter than russets.

You only need 4 ingredients: potatoes, oil, salt and pepper. You also sprinkle on taco seasoning, chipotle pepper with a little salt mixture, creole seasonings or even dry barbecue seasoning.

They have a crispy outside with a tender inside.
