Steps:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan (or use your griddle pan). Add potatoes and onions (and green bell pepper if desired). Season to taste with salt, pepper and optional garlic powder.

DINER-STYLE BAKED POTATO HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes well and pierce with a fork. Cook on full power in microwave oven for 5 minutes; turn the potatoes over and cook 5 more minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and set aside to cool. Thinly slice the cooled potatoes.
• Cook and stir the butter and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Gently place the potatoes into the skillet and fry, carefully flipping the potatoes a few times, until slices are browned around the edges. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

DINNER HOME FRIES

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat; cover, and cook 5 minutes.
• Add another tablespoon olive oil; stir in 1 onion, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups). Reduce heat to medium; cook, covered, 5 minutes.
• Uncover; cook, stirring frequently, until potatoes and onions are browned, about 15 minutes. Toss with another 1/4 teaspoon salt, and serve.

DINER STYLE BAKED POTATO HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash potatoes and pierce with a fork. Microwave at baked potato setting until done.
• Slice potatoes as thinly as possible. Put onions and butter in large skillet on medium heat and cook until onions are translucent.
• Add potatoes and continue frying until the potatoes are browned around the edges. I like some of my potatoes to be on the crispy side. Season with salt and pepper.
• This is also a great way to use up left over baked potatoes. You could also add some chopped green pepper to the potatoes. If you are going to add green peppers, cook these with the onions before adding the potatoes.
