Sweet and Savory Home Fries

My dad taught me his recipe for home fries.  Over the years I have tweaked and changed it to become what I believe is the perfect home-fries recipe!

You can eat these any time of day breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Ingredients:
(serves 4-5)
4 potatoes
1 onion
1/4 - 1/3 c. olive oil
1 tbsp brown sugar 
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
Hungarian Paprika - this is the secret ingredient!
Salt
Pepper

Step 1 Prepare Potatoes

First wash your potatoes.  I like to peel the skin off but you can certainly leave it on if you like.

Cut the potatoes into small pieces about an inch in width.

Boil the potatoes for 7 minutes.  This will make them cook faster and have a nice soft texture when you fry them.

Don't over boil the potatoes.  If they are too soft they will just fall apart in the frying pan.

I usually slice my potatos into rounds for homefries and cubes for hashbrowns but I suppose its all in how your parents or grandparents cooked. The brown sugar is an interesting twist that I'll have to keep in mind

Rounds as in wedges? I like wedge style fries.

[l8nite]

Ive never seen round wedges... I mean round like thick potato chips,ie: slice the whole potato into 1/8" slices, some larger pieces/potatos may need to be cut in half

Yea I think you mean wedges. Google potato wedges.

I love it this way, and I usually prefer skin on.

If you add just a bit of vinegar to your potatoes while they are boiling, it will keep the potatoes from falling apart. Also gives them a nice crisp when you cook them up.
