If you’re looking for a quick and simple potato side, these Easy Cottage Fries are the answer. I eat a lot of meat (as you may have noticed!) and I usually like to serve it with some kind of potato side dish, something to soak up all those tasty meat juices. These cottage fried potatoes are perfect for that. They get a nice crust on the outside but remain soft and fluffy on the inside.
By the way, these cottage potatoes are pretty similar to home fries (which are usually cubed), and are also known as house fries. You get the idea – any type of potato chip you can easily rustle up in your pan at home!
To make this Easy Cottage Fries, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lay some parchment over a baking tray.
In a large bowl, mix the potatoes, cayenne, herbs, olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss together until coated all over.
Tip the potatoes onto the baking tray, shaking them out so they are spread evenly. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and turn each one over, before returning to bake for another 15 minutes. Continue to turn and bake for up to 15 minutes if needed, until the rounds are soft in the center and well browned on the outside.

Superb cottage fries!
I loved making these Easy Cottage Fries for my family last weekend. They were a hit with my husband, who usually prefers more complicated dishes. It’s so simple to make and perfect with roast chicken.
Thanks!
