Spicy Mexican Home Fries

By Pavani @napavani
I'm not sure how authentic these home fries are, but I believe Bobby Flay knows what he's doing. So I went with it and made these for the Mexican brunch. These fried potatoes are crispy, spicy and delicious.

Recipe adapted from here.
Spicy Home Fries: IngredientsServes 2~3 Potatoes - 2 medium, boiled and chopped
Onion -1 medium, chopped

Method:
