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.

The potatoes, season salt, and rosemary, on a cutting board with a white towel.

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.

The diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl ready to be tossed with oil.

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!

The home fries have been spread out evenly on a dark sheet pan for baking.

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.

  4. Looks absolutely delicious… the way you seasoned and cooked these is much different then I have done in the past. I will be testing these out on my family. I love the way you have written the instructions. Looks really easy to follow.

  5. We 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!

    • Thank 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!

  14. I love cooking oven potatoes. The crispiness is perfect. I usually put salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley on mine.

    • Thank you, Kate! It’s weird because it’s hard to find good home fries in Florida as well. That’s why we had to make them at home lol!

  19. I love crispy baked fries. I have found a trick to par-bake the potatoes then remove from oven oil and season and then finish them to crisp up. Great recipe!

    • Thank 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.

    • Thank 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. 🙂

  26. This 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.

    • Thank 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 🙂

    • Thank you, Kate! I love fried potatoes too, but dietary restrictions keep me from eating them too often, so this is a nice alternative. I hope you enjoy these potatoes when you make them 🙂
