Cut the potato strips into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) cubes. Keep the potato strips together and use your knife to cut them at a 90-degree angle. You can make the cubes around 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) if you want them to cook quickly or make them around 1 inch (2.5 cm) for more substantial home fries. Keep in mind that larger home fries will take longer to cook. 4
Cook the home fries in a skillet until they're crispy on the outside. For the best texture, boil the chopped potatoes for about 5 minutes. Then, drain the potatoes well and fry them in a skillet for another 5 to 6 minutes over medium heat. If you're using already cooked potatoes, you don't need to boil them since they'll fry up quickly.
