home fries

The risk taken of serving home fries rather than french is a major one, but the supreme outer crispiness of the cubes combined with an almost mashed-potato interior makes these quietly wonderful.

On the recent brunch visit to Balthazar, Corden allegedly became irate after home fries were sent out with his wife’s remade egg yolk omelet when a salad had been requested.

The restaurant remade it but sent it back out with home fries instead of the salad she had ordered, allegedly prompting Corden to erupt.

Once ready, however, the omelette was served alongside home fries instead of the salad that Corden's wife had originally asked for.

The dish was remade but sent out with the wrong side — home fries instead of a salad — which was apparently the last straw for Corden.
