Home Fries Recipe – A good oven-baked home fries recipe starts with olive oil, is perfectly seasoned, and has a crispy crust. These potatoes are small enough to add to your favorite burrito, wrap, or slather with cheese sauce. They are even great all by themselves, and make an excellent addition to any table.
Everybody loves a great home fries recipe; however, few people know how to make home fries in the oven. Well, with this recipe, now you can make this classic breakfast side dish anytime you want.
With only four ingredients, this is one our easiest offerings to prepare. I invite you to try this home fries recipe for you and your family the next time you’re craving a crispy, savory side. Or, this St. Patty’s Day, consider combining this with our fried cabbage.
How to Make our Oven-Baked Home Fries Recipe:
Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is preheating, wash the potatoes and prep them for dicing.
Next, on a clean cutting board, dice your potatoes into a ¾ inch to 1-inch cubes. After the potatoes are diced, place them in a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, seasoned salt, and dried rosemary.
Then, using your hands or two mixing spoons, toss the potatoes with the oil and seasonings. Afterward, place the oiled potatoes on a cookie sheet or 9 x 13-inch sheet pan.
Last, bake the home fires in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Every 15 minutes, remove the home fries and flip them with a spatula. This ensures that the sides get crispy!
Once they are done, serve hot with a side of eggs and toast or in a burrito.
Tips for Successful Home Fries:
- Spread out the diced potatoes on the sheet pan, if they’re too close together, they won’t crisp properly.
- Flip the potatoes every 15 minutes so all the sides are extra crispy.
- Don’t set the temperature higher than 425 degrees F. since we’re working with olive oil.
- When cutting the potatoes, make sure they are similar in size so they cook evenly.
- Slice your potatoes into shoestrings or wedges to make homemade fries.
- Drizzle the home fries with our cheese sauce and wrap everything in a tortilla for an awesome meatless burrito.

December 27, 2016 at 11:55 amWe love baked fries 🙂 We live in a condo so deep frying is…challenging…because the smoke almost always drives the smoke detector crazy! And yes to keeping the skin on!
John
December 27, 2016 at 12:26 pmThank you, Jolina! I know what you mean about the frying, we live in a condo unit and frying is pretty much a no-go. Glad to meet another “skin-on” supporter lol!

December 28, 2016 at 8:19 amOoo these look good! I have to admit, my husband tried to make some crispy baked spuds the other day and it was a little bit of a fail (uneven sizes didn’t cook well)! I’ll show him this post 😉
John
December 28, 2016 at 8:23 amThank you for stopping by Patrica! Oh no, those uneven cubes will get you every time. Well, try, try again is always my motto. Also, you only get better with age and practice 🙂

January 1, 2017 at 11:40 amI love cooking oven potatoes. The crispiness is perfect. I usually put salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley on mine.

April 19, 2017 at 5:28 pmI love finding ways to make potatoes. They are always good and easy to do! Can’t wait to try this!
John
April 20, 2017 at 7:50 amThank you, Elizabeth! Potatoes are an awesome food because they’re a blank slate; kind of like chicken. You can throw all kinds of seasonings and additional ingredients at them and they hold up well. Thanks again for dropping by and I hope you enjoy them when you make the potatoes. 🙂
Krysta
April 19, 2017 at 9:12 pmThis look so delicious. I could eat these potatoes with everything – not just breakfast. They are super good with poached eggs though. I usually end up eating that for dinner instead of breakfast, haha! Probably because I have more time in the evening than the mornings.
John
April 20, 2017 at 8:09 amThank you, Krysta! Dinner-breakfast, as we call it, is the best! In fact, it was my dinner-breakfast combo of bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns that caught Kim’s attention lol! At the time we were friends and she was a waitress and I was a cook at the same restaurant. So, after a long day, I would drop by her apartment for dinner. She always wanted me to make that same breakfast meal for dinner. It didn’t take long for our friendship to change into an intimate relationship. Thanks again for commenting 🙂

John
April 20, 2017 at 6:51 amThank you, Quinn! That’s a wonderful idea, I will have to give that a try the next time I make these potatoes. How can you go wrong with more crisp?! LOL.

April 20, 2017 at 7:44 amThank you, Mira! Us too! It’s so much easier and there’s no messy clean up. It’s great way to make crunchy taters 🙂
