what are home fries? not trying to sound like an asshat but they look a bit soggy. is it something regional like Poutine? cheers, sorry for the ignorance.
No you're fine, it's a US potato side dish with optional inclusions, like peppers and onions, typically seared on a griddle, cast iron, or carbon steel pan. I season mine with crushed chipotle, garlic, and parsley along with salt and cracked black pepper.
I prefer an almost mashed potato like texture for my home fries to complement the steak's crust, but you could fry these until they're crunchy and you'll find that it's someone's preference. Sort of like eggs, it's a fairly blank recipe canvas that is what you make of it.
Those are hash browns. Home fries are potato chunks pan fried until crispy.
Hell yeah!
Polar opposite reaction to yesterday's post haha. Glad I found your cup of tea. :)
Ha
Steak looks great! Did you reverse sear?
Appreciate the compliment!
I pan seared on high heat for a minute or so each side, gave it a slow roll around the pan on its side, then finished in an oven until it registered 115°F.
I rested it for a bit then basted in butter on low before plating. That butter was then used to quick fry the eggs.
Your homefries look a lot more like hashbrowns like you'd get at Wafflehouse.
Typically homefries are small chunks of saute'd potatoes usually.
These are cut like french fries instead of the traditional dicing to match the julienned onion but they've got enough bit to them as individual pieces that they still feel like home fries. Hashbrowns are grater thin, smashed together, and normally much crispier, though they'd be just as welcome on my plate as these home fries were!
Good job, looks delicious! 👌
Woaaaah!
Home fries are lacking potatoes, did you sear that steak on a radiator and what did those poor eggs ever do to you?
They look rubbery as hell.
