What Are Home Fries?

I was speaking to my love the other day, telling him about my newfound love of home fries and to my surprise, he thought I was talking about french fries! I told him home fries are different from french fries, so he says “Ohhh, you mean the fries that are cut into big wedges?!”. So I decided to school him on what exactly home fries are and felt I should let you all know in case you’ve never heard of them!

Home Fries are potatoes that are usually cut into cubes and sautéed or baked in the oven until golden brown and crispy. This dish is typically eaten for breakfast or brunch. Some people make their home fries plain, with just the potatoes. Most people will add some peppers or onions, or both, to the potatoes. I decided to make mine extra special by adding my homemade gluten free vegan sausage to the home fries, along with bell peppers and kale, topped with a yummy chipotle cream sauce.

Are there any of you who have never had home fries before? I must admit, I had never heard of them until I moved to the south, when my dad retired in Atlanta. I believe this is a classic southern American breakfast.

Home Fries Seasoning. Easy Fajita Seasoning for Home Fries

I season the potatoes in this home fries recipe with fajita/taco seasoning. I simply mix equal parts (1 teaspoon each, but you can use more or less of each seasoning) ground cumin, ground coriander, chili powder, oregano, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. It’s quick and delicious.

What is Chipotle in Adobo Sauce?

Chipotle peppers are smoked-dried jalapeño peppers. Adobo sauce is made from other dried peppers that have been soaked, vinegar, onion, garlic, sweetener like brown sugar, and spices like cinnamon, cumin, clove, oregnao, and a few other spices. The recipe differs slightly depending on who is making it.

My Favorite Way to Eat Home Fries

I love eating these home fries over creamy grits! I made my grits with cashew cream and added some of my homemade Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese at the end. It was DELICOUS! Check out the cream cheese recipe if you haven’t tried it yet. It gets rave reviews from people who have tried it!

Then, I top it with mashed avocado, sauerkraut, and chipotle cream!

Health Benefits

One cup of kale contains 684% of the daily recommended of vitamin K, 206% of vitamin A, 134% of vitamin C. It has been shown to protect against colon and prostate cancer, and it is an excellent source of healthy omega fatty acids. Please note that kale has recently been listed at the top of the Dirty Dozen list, so it is best to purchase kale that is verified to be organic.

Bell peppers contain more vitamin C than oranges, help boost the immune system, lower inflammation in the arteries, and help get rid of free radicals in the body.

Ingredients

HOME FRIES:

  • 5 medium sized red potatoes cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 tablespoons fajita or taco seasoning divided
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into cubes
  • 1 orange bell pepper cut into cubes
  • 1 ½ cups vegan sausage cut into chunks
  • 5 dinosaur kale leaves roughly chopped
  • Any toppings you want I top mine with avocado and sauerkraut

CHIPOTLE CREAM:

  • 1 heaping cup zucchini, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce more or less depending on your liking
  • ¾ cups water filtered if possible
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  2. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons of fajita or taco seasoning. Mix everything well and bake for about 35 – 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, make the chipotle cream by placing everything but the cilantro in a blender and blending until smooth. Once smooth, add the cilantro and blitz it for 1 – 2 seconds, so little specs of green cilantro show throughout the sauce. Pour into a container and set aside.
  4. Next, place a large pan or large pot on medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, all of the bell peppers, and 1 tablespoon of fajita or taco seasoning. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the peppers have softened slightly, but are not overcooked. You can cover the pot or pan with a lid to help the peppers cook faster, but be sure to watch them so they don’t burn.
  5. Next, add the sausage and kale. Stir and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the kale has wilted. Turn off the heat and set aside if your potatoes are still cooking.
  6. Once the potatoes are done, add them to the pot or pan with the bell peppers, kale, etc… Stir everything well. Turn on the heat to medium if you need to warm everything up.
  7. To serve, place the home fries on a plate, drizzle the chipotle cream on top, and add any toppings, if using.

Recipe Notes

A quicker version of the Chipotle Cream is to use vegan mayonnaise and just blend it with the lemon juice, cumin, chipotle in adobo sauce, garlic, salt, and add the cilantro at the end.

  • Lentil Curry⁣ -⁣ These are Ethiopian inspired lentils. I am still perfecting my Ethiopian lentil recipe, so this is not on the blog, but I will let you all know when it's on there.⁣ -⁣ I'm super hard on myself when it comes to making Ethiopian Lentils because there's a restaurant in Atlanta called Desta Ethiopian Kitchen and they make the BEST lentils in America! I am determined to get my lentils to taste almost as good as theirs, if not AS good! I'm always comparing mine to theirs (even though I shouldn't because mine really are good), so I'm never satisfied! I'll get it one day.⁣ -⁣ Any of you ever been to @destaethiopiankitchen ?!
  • Jajangmyeon | Rice Noodles with an AMAZING Chinese-Korean Black Bean Sauce and Vegetables.⁣ -⁣ Rice noodles are coated in a rich delicious sauce of korean black bean paste mixed with sesame oil, rice vinegar, a little coconut aminos (or soy sauce if you're not soy-intolerant), & ginger all tossed with yummy vegetables!⁣ -⁣ Recipe on daytimevegan.com, just do a search for it!⁣ -
  • Making some Sweet Potato Risotto today. Last year, I learned how to make risotto in a pressure cooker and it was hands down one of the best things i discovered that year.⁣ -⁣ For those who do not know, traditional risotto is a time-consuming dish to make that requires good technique to get it just perfect. Many people cheat and add cream to their risotto to make it creamy, but cream should not be added. You have to keep stirring the risotto while it cooks, add more stock, stir, add stock, stir, and so on. The starch from the short grain rice releases and makes the dish super creamy.⁣ -⁣ An Italian might want to fight me for making risotto this way! It's definitely not the traditional method, but if you have a pressure cooker, or maybe even an instant pot, then try making risotto in it!⁣ -
  • Tahini Vanilla Bean Ice Cream topped with Shaved Vegan Chocolate, Pepitas, and Raisins⁣ -⁣ I accidentally discovered that tahini and raisins taste great together when making this ice cream. I needed some toppings for the photograph and all I had was chocolate, pepitas, & raisins, so I said "eh, why not". It was amazing! So yea...tahini and raisins are a thing now. Give this a try!⁣ -⁣ Recipe is on the blog, just do a search for Tahini Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
  • Peach Apple Green Smoothie⁣ -⁣ Frozen peaches, fresh apples, a hint of lime juice, water, and a handful of kale are blended to make a refreshing smoothie! I put ice in this smoothie because sometimes I love when they are super cold, particularly after my workout!
  • Eggplant & Cabbage Stew⁣ -⁣ Tomatoes, onion, and garlic cooked in olive oil with oregano, thyme, lemon pepper, and salt. Then I added a splash of balsamic vinegar, stirred everything, added a little vegetable stock and simmered on low for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.⁣ -⁣ Next, add the eggplant and cabbage (use any vegetables you want if you don't like eggplant or cabbage) and cook until the eggplant is tender. Finish with a few fresh herbs like parsley, or maybe even a few sprigs of mint if you want to be adventurous!⁣ -⁣ Some other veggies that could be used in this recipe are zucchini, yellow squash, kale, spinach, white beans, chopped butternut squash, or bell peppers. The next time I make this, I'll probably use kale and white beans!⁣ -⁣ This recipe is not on the blog, but if you're a cook who doesn't need exact measurements then give this a try!⁣ -
