Heavenly Country-Style Home Fries

These country-style home fries are a wonderful accompaniment to any breakfast, brunch or (in my family's case) breakfast for dinner. They turn out buttery and savory with a crispy brown outer coating. I like to serve these home fries when I make breakfast for dinner for my family. We enjoy them with a juicy, smokey ham steak cooked in my cast iron skillet with a side of baby peas. Yum!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons butter
• 3  large potatoes, diced, unpeeled (white or red)
• 1  medium onions, chopped or 1  cup  chopped onion
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1. Place diced potatoes, onion, paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Toss to evenly coat the potatoes.
2. In a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
3. Increase skillet heat to medium-high and add potato mixture. Toss to coat evenly with butter.
4. Cover skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning and scraping the potatoes to prevent burning.
5. When potatoes are fork-tender, remove skillet cover.
6. With the back of your spatula, pat potatoes down into an even layer in skillet. Allow to fry untouched for 2 minutes. Then turn potatoes over and do the same for another 2 minutes. This will nicely brown and crisp the outside of the potatoes.
7. Serve immediately.
