Home fries (US, Canada), gommer fries (Western Canada), house fries (US), fried potatoes (UK, Canada and regional US), Bratkartoffeln (German), or bistro potatoes (southeastern US) are a type of basic potato dish made by pan- or skillet-frying chunked, sliced, wedged or diced potatoes that are sometimes unpeeled and may have been par-cooked by boiling, baking, steaming, or microwaving. They are sometimes served as a substitute for hash browns.

Home fries (or fried potatoes) are often paired with onions.

In North America, home fries are popular as a breakfast side dish.
