These home fry potatoes are quite possibly the best potatoes I've ever made. I like my potatoes crispy on the outside and soft in the middle and Bobby Flay knows how to do that.
Instead of just throwing the potatoes straight on the skillet Bobby Flay boils the potatoes in the water until they are just fork-tender and then the rosemary oil gets the skin extra crispy. If you don’t like rosemary feel free to use whatever herb you think would work well with the potatoes.
How to make Rosemary Home Fries
For the oil: Combine the oil, rosemary, garlic, and some salt and pepper in a blender and blend for 2 minutes. Let the oil sit for 30 minutes, and then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl. Set aside ¼ cup, plus more as needed, for the home fries, and reserve the rest in an airtight container for another use.
For the home fries: Heat ¼ cup of the rosemary oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate.
Add more rosemary oil to the skillet, if needed. Add the potatoes in one layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes, pressing the firmly with a spatula, until they are golden brown and crusty on the bottom. Turn the potatoes over, and repeat, adding more rosemary oil if needed. Stir in the parsley, red pepper flakes, reserved pancetta, and cheese and serve from the pan.
