CHEF JOHN'S COTTAGE FRIES
While they don't get the same love as French fries, home fries, or steak fries, cottage fries more than hold their own against their potato side dish fraternity brothers.

QUICK & CRISPY HOME FRIES
In order to get a crispy crust like the fries at your local diner you need to precook and cool them. When you pan fry a cold starch, it gets a beautifully crispy surface.

Steps:
- Arrange potato pieces evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until just tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts and starts to turn brown, swirl the pan and add the potatoes. Shake pan to arrange in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- As potatoes brown, toss them and keep turning them every few minutes until they are crusty and crispy-edged and a rich reddish-brown color, 10 to 12 minutes. If potatoes seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium. Serve topped with chopped chives.

FONDANT POTATOES
The texture this old-school method provides for russet potatoes is unlike anything you get by just roasting: so dense, moist, and rich. The way the crusty, crunchy edges outside contrast with the uniquely rich and creamy inside is truly a magical thing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Cut off ends of russet potatoes, stand potatoes on end, and peel potatoes from top to bottom with a sharp knife to make each potato into a uniform cylinder. Cut each cylinder in half crosswise to make 6 potato cylinders about 2 inches long.
- Place potatoes into a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to remove starch from outsides; pat dry with paper towels.
- Place a heavy oven-proof skillet (such as a cast iron skillet) over high heat. Pour in vegetable oil; heat oil until it shimmers slightly.
- Place potato cylinders with best-looking ends into the hot oil, lower heat to medium-high, and pan-fry potatoes until well-browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Flip the potatoes onto the opposite ends. As they cook, use a paper towel held with tongs to carefully blot out the oil from the skillet. Add butter and thyme sprigs to skillet.
- Pick up a thyme sprig with tongs and use it to paint butter over the top of the potatoes. Cook until butter foams and foam turns from white to a pale tan color. Season with more salt and pepper. Pour chicken stock into skillet.
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and cook until potatoes are tender and creamy inside, about 30 minutes. If potatoes aren't tender, add 1/4 cup more stock and let cook 10 more minutes.
- Place potatoes on a serving platter and spoon thyme-scented butter remaining in skillet over potatoes. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving.

CHEF JOHN'S FRENCH FRIES
I don't think most people realize that any decent French fry needs to be twice fried. The first frying in done at a lower temperature, which softens the potato and prepares the starchy surface for the second frying's crispification.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place two baking sheets in oven. Peel potatoes; cut into 1/4-inch sticks. Place in a bowl; toss with olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Carefully remove baking sheets from oven; coat with cooking spray. Divide potatoes between the hot baking sheets in a single layer. Bake, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, heat a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium heat until very hot. Place filet slices in a layer of plastic wrap; lightly pound with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until 1/2 inch thick. Season steaks on both sides with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sear in hot skillet until browned on both sides and medium rare in center, about 2 minutes per side. Serve immediately with fries and Dijon mustard.

TWICE FRIED CAST IRON SKILLET FRENCH FRIES
Why twice fried? Simple, though you can get pretty good fries by cooking them all the way through the first go around, this tends to leave the potatoes a little soggy. Frying them once, draining and cooling them, then frying them again will get you that classic french fried potato crunchy outside and tender inside we all love about fries. To avoid splatter, use a splatter shield. It is dangerous frying with oil, so always pay close attention to how hot your oil is. Never let it get above 350'F. Always tend you oil.

Steps:
- You will need a cast iron skillet with deep sides. Place your skillet over medium heat and heat for 6 minutes. Once the skillet is warm add about an inch to an inch and one half of oil to the pan. Heat the oil to 350'F. While oil is heating cut your potatoes lengthwise. (You don't want them too thick because they won't cook even. But, you don't want them too thin either, else they will cook too quick. I aimed for about 1/2 inch, or a little less, thick for my fries.)
- Once oil is at 350'F gently submerge potatoes into the hot oil. Lay them going away from you to minimize your chance of burning yourself. DO NOT over crowd the pan. The fries should be able to move freely in the oil without clumping up over each other. If you want to make a lot of fries, do so in batches, not all at once.
- Fry potatoes for about 2 minutes until the edges are just golden. Then, remove the fries from the oil, drain completely on a paper towel. (I remove the fries with a mesh spoon that is specifically built for frying food. Use any metal, slotted spoon you have, or a fry basket if available. Do not use plastic, it will melt. Do not use wood, it will cause the oil to spit-up.) Make sure the oil is still heated at 350'F, then gentle refry the fries again for another 3-5 minutes, or until super golden and crispy. Drain the fries a second time, then immediately toss with sea salt. Add pepper, paprika, malt vinegar, or garlic powder now, if desired. Cool for one minute. Enjoy!

- Scrub and rinse potatoes under cool water then pat dry using a kitchen towel. You may peel them if you like, or leave the skins on for a more rustic dish. Cut potatoes into ¾" cubes. Try to be consistent when cubing them, so they cook evenly.
- Place a large non-stick (or cast iron) skillet over medium heat then add the butter and oil. Once the butter melts, place potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the skillet. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, turning potatoes once or twice during the cooking process.
- Remove lid then season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly with seasonings then add onions on top of potatoes. Replace lid for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove lid and let potatoes cook uncovered, until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. This may take an additional 10–15 minutes depending on how crispy you like your home fries. Remove from heat, taste for seasoning and serve while they are nice and hot. Enjoy!
