Steakhouse Homefries - German Style Fried Potatoes
Steakhouse homefries are German style fried potatoes that make the perfect side dish to your favorite steak.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 5 large Russet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil
- 6 tablespoons clarified butter see notes below
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Parcook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes or until slightly hard. Drain the potatoes, then place onto a paper-towel lined baking sheet to dry. Pat the potatoes dry with paper towels.
- Heat a large pan or wide skillet to medium-high with the oil and 3 tablespoons of clarified butter. Add the potatoes and cook until browned on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). With a slotted spoon, remove potatoes to an oven safe dish. Add the onion, and a bit more oil or clarified butter if needed, and a pinch of salt and cook until slightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the potatoes back to the pan and mix well. Add the rest of the clarified butter. Gently stir the potatoes for several minutes until they are a crispy golden brown, then season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Add the potatoes and onions back to the oven-safe plate. Finish in the oven at 425°F for about 15 minutes, until it’s crispy and a deeper golden brown. The potatoes can be broiled for a few minutes, but watch carefully. Enjoy!
Notes
- Clarified butter. 1 stick of butter yields approximately 5-6 tablespoons of clarified butter, which is what you will need for this recipe. You can use storebought clarified butter or just plain butter for this recipe. Clarified butter has a higher smoke point than butter which makes it ideal for frying at higher temps.
- Potatoes. Any white potato can be used. Russets will yield a crispier exterior and fluffier interior than Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Leftovers. Steakhouse homefries can be saved in the fridge for up to 3 days and can reheated on the stovetop, in the oven, or in the microwave.
