Home fries (US, Canada), house fries (US), American fries (US), fried potatoes (UK, Canada and regional US), Bratkartoffeln (German), bistro potatoes (southeastern US), or peasant potatoes[citation needed] 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.[1][2] They are sometimes served as a substitute for hash browns.

Home fries (or fried potatoes) are often paired with onions.

In North America, home fries are popular as a breakfast side dish.[3]
