These are all dressed up the way Mom and I liked them. You can adapt this basic home fries recipe. You can leave them plain or with additions.
Here's today recipe Italian Style Home Fries!
Here is another one of those must goes ( for those of you who are new here, the story was if you asked mom what we were having for dinner tonight she would say everything must go and that's what "must goes" are.
Anything mom had in the refrigerator leftover would all be taken out at the end of the week.
So, we had zucchini starting to get soft, peppers, and lots of potatoes in the house, it was time to make the must goes!
Great Anytime
These potatoes go great anytime for any breakfast, lunch or dinner side dish.
One of our favorites was potatoes, peppers and zucchini combo's, now that's Italiano with breadcrumbs and mozzarella on top!
Sometimes she'd add eggs to this and we would have what is referred to a frittata. At least that's what she and grandma called it. If there was meat it was added to it, like sausage or steak.
Home fries are the best breakfast side dish!
Adaptable recipe.
My dad's recipe is just potatoes sliced and fried, mom added the fancy vegetables she likes!
I love these either way.
Italian Home Fries
3 large cleaned thinly sliced potatoes
grape tomatoes sliced or left whole stuffed and whole milk fresh mozzarella (top with fresh basil leaves)
1 garlic cloves minced, optional onions chopped
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper to taste
1 tablespoon grating cheese
Italian flavored bread crumbs
Optional:
2 peppers one green one yellow or red
1 large zucchini grated and some sliced
1 small grated or sliced onion
I a large heated fry pan, add 1/4 cup olive oil, saute garlic (add onion, and peppers if using) to flavor the oil, add potatoes. Fry stirring frequently till very browned. Add the grated zucchini towards the end and slices as they cook quickly. You can add anything cooked you like at this point. You can also add the bread crumbs on top before serving with some grated parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella.
Note: grape tomatoes have the middles removed, stuffed with mozzarella cheese with fresh basil, sliced peppers on a toothpick for garnish.
Very interesting recipe!
