The best home fries are crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle.
asked folks on Twitter what, in their minds, is the difference between home fries and potato hash
. Hoo boy, was that a can of worms. Most of the debate seems to be about what constitutes hash. Is it shredded and fried potatoes? Should hash be smashed and cooked on a flat top? Are home fries distinct, while hash is more cohesive? Are home fries potatoes only, while hash has other stuff mixed in? Are home fries disks, while hash is cubes? Et cetera, et cetera.
We may never be able to satisfactorily come up with nomenclature that makes everyone happy here, so I'm not going to even bother trying. Instead, I'll go with my gut. To me, potato hash has relatively small cubes of potatoes, while home fries tend to be larger chunks . Exactly where that hash/home fry divide lies may be up for debate, but it's the kind of debate everyone should immediately drop once crispy potatoes hit the table.
I know people—especially New Yorkers—have a thing for diners, and I sort of get it, but they really aren't my cup of tea . I think my problem is really one of quality over concept. Fact is, most diners just aren't that. Frankly, I can deal with the crappy coffee, since I'm more of a tea drinker anyway. I'll put up with fried factory-farmed eggs, even with the inevitable runny whites or made-from-powder Hollandaise on top.
I start by boiling the new potatoes in water that's been spiked with vinegar and salt. Boiling potatoes before frying them is an essential step to getting maximum crispness. Boiling causes starch granules in the potatoes to swell and burst. When the potatoes are subsequently drained and slightly cooled, that gelatinized starch retrogrades and forms a crystalline structure.
