Don't have a deep fryer? Don't want to eat deep fried food? No problem.
Okay. So I won't claim that these taste the same as chip-wagon or fish n' chips - style home fries, but I'd dare to say they're just as good and some might say better.
BRAD'S HERBED HOMEFRIES
(For 4)
Two thin-skinned local new potatoes; 5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed (not chopped); 6-8 thyme sprigs; extra virgin olive oil; kosher salt; black pepper
Two keys to great home fries are the right potato, and par-boiling or steaming. Get Canadian-grown and preferably as local as possible fresh potatoes - you will notice a difference from the genetic mutant American potatoes.
Wash potatoes and chop into fries about a square centimetre thick. Boil a large pot of water and either steam the potatoes in a steamer or par-boil them until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Let them sit for a moment to dry. Preheat oven to 425. Drizzel a thin layer of olive oil on a baking sheet and spread out the fries. Drizzle more olive oil over the top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter the garlic and thyme about. Roast until golden and crispy, about 15-18 minutes.
