There are many reasons to go out for breakfast or brunch on the weekend. Maybe it�s a break from the daily routine, maybe it�s the Mimosas (when else can you start drinking before noon and feel good about it), or maybe it�s the Homefries. Let�s face it, those crusty, crunchy, hot-off-the-grill potatoes that come with your omelet are a pretty good reason alone to venture out.
Very few of us can duplicate those at home. When most of us try to make Homefries, we just don�t get the same results. They look the same; they�re golden-brown and cooked all the way through, but they just don�t have that beautiful crusty/crispy texture. In this demo you�ll see why. The key is pre-cooking the potatoes in water first, and then frying. By the way, this is my mom�s very basic recipe, and you can of course dress it up with diced peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc.
