Syn Free Seasoned Crispy Home Fries - the ultimate breakfast side to accompany your eggs, bacon or sausage.

Order breakfast at a diner this side of the Atlantic and you are pretty likely to see Home Fries on the menu. Normally fried in butter in a skillet until crispy but fluffy on the inside, they are a popular choice for breakfast.

We have a local diner here that is one of my favourite choices for breakfast and whenever I go there, I will happily blow all my daily syns on their home fries, which are seriously amazing.

So there seemed no better idea than to create my own syn free version I could enjoy at home.

There are two options for cooking these, you can either cook these in the oven, or in the Tefal Actifry, The added bonus of course about the Actifry is that you don’t need to rotate the potatoes to get an even browning, the actifry does it all for you.

The Actifry is a great option for foods that you would usually be deep fried. We have the Tefal Actifry 1.7kg family size, because being a family of 4, we need that extra capacity and some of my favourite recipes are:

The key to getting the perfectly golden crispy seasoned Home Fries is part cooking before the browning process, and not adding the seasoning too early. You may be tempted to rush these and skip the parboiling stage, but trust me even when cooking these in the actifry, you won't get the same result if you don't parboil these first.

I will often make up a big batch of these to last a few mornings, as they can just be readded to the oven or actifry to heat up. So if you want to make these the night before to save time, then go right ahead.

How can I add a ⅓ speed foods to these Syn Free Breakfast Home Fries?

I served mine with some sauteed mushrooms, onion, peppers and tomatoes. I just sauteed them in a pan with some cooking all spray, also using a little bit of stock to prevent from sticking, just keep reducing down and adding a little bit more. It's a great method for sauteing vegetables without the need for lots of oil. I use it as a method for these Garlic Sauteed Mushrooms.

All that is left to decide, is what else to serve these delicious Syn Free Breakfast Home Fries with. I went for eggs and some crispy oven baked streaky bacon. Yes I know back bacon is syn free, but your syns are there to use on what you want and we love crispy streaky bacon. Yum!!
