Every bite of soggy, greasy potatoes at a diner is a reminder of what great home fries can be. Every trip to the diner is like a unicorn huntwe're chasing those perfect, crisp home fries, but rarely catch more than a glimpse of them. Home fries should be crisp on the outside and creamy in the middle, packed with potato flavor, with some herbs and onions mixed in. The good news: you don't even have to leave home to catch that unicorn.
