Home fries are a part of breakfast that I cannot live without.

Admittedly, my homemade breakfast potatoes are pretty good, but theyre rarely great.

The potatoes won’t stick to the pan and they will be extra golden and exceptionally crisp.

Use a rough chop for this step, as precision isn’t necessary.

My friend says this seasoning blend yields the most crowd-pleasing results.

Continue cooking the potatoes, stirring them occasionally, until all sides are golden brown.

If you take a stab at stir the potatoes but they stick to the pan, just be patient.

The potatoes will release from the pan once they’re browned.

Transfer the skillet to a 375F oven, and watch your potatoes enter a whole new realm of deliciousness.

This will add an extra kick to the home fries and a wonderful aroma from the herbs.
