Whether you call these home fries or chunky hash browns, eat them for breakfast or as a side at dinner, the end result is delicious, fluffy potatoes that are pillowy soft in the middle and lightly crisp on the outside. This recipe is all about the method. Seasoning is whatever suits your taste.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm chunks. Drop them into a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. This will help get rid of excess starch. Rinse the potatoes and lay them out on a paper-towel lined plate to dry off.
2

Add a splash of veg oil to a medium nonstick pan on medium heat. Add the potatoes and cover. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are about 3/4 cooked. This will take about 15 minutes.
3

Remove the cover and turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the butter to the pan. Toss the potatoes in the melting butter. Once the potatoes are brown and crispy, hit them with some seasoning. I used salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Be careful not to sprinkle on too much salt; you'll re-salt at the end.

Remove the potatoes to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Hit them with a second sprinkle of salt while they're hot. Garnish however you like and serve immediately.
