Homemade Home Fries with Garlic Aioli

Prep Time :5 minutes
Cook Time :15 minutes
Total Time :20 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

Crispy Home Fries

  • 3 leftover russet baked potatoes cold
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and black pepper for seasoning
  • chives for garnish

Garlic Aioli

  • 4 cloves finely grated
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chives chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp of lemon juice
  • 1 tsp of lemon zest
  • 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Make aioli by adding all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until fully combined. Adjust ingredients to desired taste. Set aside in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
  • Next, dice your cold, leftover baked potatoes into medium-sized cubes (about 1 inch). Be sure to include the skin as it will get crispy.
  • Next, in a large skillet (cast iron is ideal), heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add the diced potatoes in a single layer. Let them sit without stirring for 3–4 minutes so they develop a crispy crust. Flip or stir gently, and let them crisp up on the other sides, about 10-14 minutes total (cooking time will vary based on desired crispiness).
  • Next, liberally season the potatoes with salt and pepper. I typically place my potatoes in a metal mixing bowl to season to ensure the seasoning is evenly coated. Note, you want to season the home fries straight while they are hot.
  • Lastly, garnish with chives and serve with aioli and ketchup.
