Jonathan's Favorite Home Fries
- 5 medium red-skinned potatoes (about 1 3/4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon pure mild chile powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
- Salt
- Steam the potatoes over boiling water until almost cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Let the potatoes cool, then cut them into 1-inch chunks.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter in the oil until foamy.
- Add the red bell pepper and onion and cook over moderately high heat until just softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the potatoes, then cook over moderate heat without stirring until golden and crusty on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the potatoes and cook, turning occasionally, until golden all over, about 15 minutes longer.
- Stir in the cayenne, chile powder, paprika, celery seeds and a generous pinch of salt and serve immediately.
