Home fries, house fries, American fries, fried potatoes, Bratkartoffeln, bistro potatoes, or peasant potatoes are a type of basic potato dish made by pan- or skillet-frying chunked, sliced, wedged or diced potatoes that are sometimes unpeeled and may have been par-cooked by boiling, baking, steaming, or microwaving. They are sometimes served as a substitute for hash browns.
Home fries (or fried potatoes) are often paired with onions.
