These need to be added to your Sunday morning brunch menu!
Easy American Fries
Your weekend menu won’t be complete without these super easy American fries! I grew up eating this recipe and it still one of my go-to recipes. It is perfect for a fun weekend brunch, but it is also perfect for meal prep! Top with some homemade ketchup and toss a fried egg in there and you are good to go!
American Potatoes, American Fries or Home Fries vs. French Fries
So what is the difference between all of these terms? From my research, it seems that French Fries are potatoes usually cut into long strips and deep fried in hot oil and sprinkled with salt. American Potatoes, American Fries and Home Fries all seem to be describing potatoes that are cut into cubes and then sautéed with onions, salt and pepper. All are served with ketchup.
How do you reheat American Fries
You can reheat them in a skillet (I prefer my cast iron). Add in a little ghee (just a little to coat the pan) and then just sauté the potatoes until they warm up. You can also pop them in the microwave if you want!
