📝 Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions
- Potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are great for making baked home fries. If you’re in Australia, the white washed potatoes are the way to go.
- Spices: I use a mix of sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to season my home fries, but feel free to use your favorite spice mix.
- Olive oil: Just a little bit of oil brings it all together and helps the potatoes achieve a nice, golden skin. You also can use coconut oil if you prefer.

How To Make Home Fries In The Oven
Making crispy home fries at home is easier as you might think. Simply follow these steps:
Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 220°C (428°F). Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them completely.
Step 3: Dice the potatoes into approximately 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm (about 0.6 inches x 0.6 inches) cubes.
Step 4: Place the diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl, season with spices, and add a splash of olive oil. Mix everything to ensure all the potatoes are coated with oil and spices.
Step 5: Arrange the potatoes on the baking tray, making sure to leave a little space between each one. You might need to use two baking trays.
Step 6: Bake the home fries in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the potatoes are nice and golden and cooked through.
☀️ Top Tips
- Dry Potatoes Thoroughly: After washing, make sure to dry the potatoes completely. Excess moisture can lead to soggy fries instead of crispy ones.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Baking Tray: Leave space between the potato cubes on the baking tray to allow for proper air circulation, which helps them crisp up.
- Serve Immediately: Home fries are best enjoyed right out of the oven while they’re still hot and crispy.

❄️ How To Store
Oven home fries taste best fresh out of the oven, but if you have leftovers, here’s how to store them:
Refrigerate: Allow the oven home fries to cool to room temperature to prevent moisture buildup. Place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheat: Place them in a 360°F (180°C) oven until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes.
Oven Home Fries Recipe FAQs
To achieve extra crispy home fries, ensure that the potatoes are dried thoroughly after washing. Additionally, using a higher oven temperature and giving enough space between the potatoes on the baking tray can help them crisp up.
Store your Cacik dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 2-3 days. Before serving, give it a good stir, as the yogurt and cucumber might release some water over time.
Soaking potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes can help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries. I don’t typically soak the potatoes and still achieve great results, but if you have the time, feel free to give it a try!
