Homefries are pan fried potatoes that you usually have with breakfast. Whenever I make boiled potatoes I always make a few extra to have the next morning. Take the boiled potatoes and slice them into thick slices (half or quarter slices depending on your taste). Pan fry in a mixture of butter and olive oil (I use about 2 tbs of each for 6 medium potatoes) along with some minced garlic until crispy, season with salt & pepper. Sometimes I will dust with a bit of paprika.
EDIT: just realized I forgot to add onions to taste.
