potato dish made by
pan- or skillet-frying chunked, sliced, wedged or
diced potatoes that are sometimes unpeeled and may have been
par-cooked by boiling, baking, steaming, or microwaving.[1][2] They are sometimes served as a substitute for
hash browns.
Home fries (or fried potatoes) are often paired with onions.
