The key to great garlic home fries is cooking the potatoes on low heat. The total cooking time for this recipe will be about 15-20 minutes. You don’t want to rush the potatoes, because you want the home fries crispy outside, but you also want them cooked through on the inside.
What You Need for Garlic Home Fries

Make the Best Home Fried Potatoes
- Dice a potato. Cubes half the size of a die are good, but any size will be fine as long as they are reasonably uniform and can cook evenly.
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. Check current prices on Amazon for a shiny new non-stick skillet.
- Add in the diced potato. You want the oil hot and the potatoes to sizzle when they hit the pan. Spread the potatoes out in an even layer. Reduce the heat to a low and let the potatoes sizzle away.
- After 5 minutes, turn the potatoes.
- After 10 minutes add in the seasoning and hot pepper, if desired. Turn the potatoes again. Adjust heat as needed.
- Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, turning as needed.
- When the potatoes are close to desired doneness, add in the butter and the finely chopped garlic.
- Cook for a few more minutes and serve hot.
