Breakfast

As Tropical Storm Hanna heads our way, I wanted a hearty breakfast.


I had a hankering for fried eggs, bacon and hash browns so I started by peeling and shredding one potato and cooking it in a thin layer in a nonstick skilet with some oil until it was golden brown and crispy:


Once the hash browns and bacon were cooked I fried two eggs:


... and finished my plate with some chopped tomato seasoned with salt and pepper.
Pin It!

    Oh.my.god. Those hash browns. I've never made them fresh but if it's as easy as you make it sound and they come out like that?? =O With the egg yolk running through it after
    the fork just cuts it? =O

    In case you missed it... =O

  3. Joelen - Thanks! I hope you had a good breakfast.

    Melissa - It really is that easy. I peeled one potato, shredded it on a box grater, rung it out in a kitchen towel to get out some of the moisture, put a little peanut oil in a nonstick skillet, layered in the potatoes, seasoned with salt and pepper and let brown on both sides. Took about 20 minutes total.

  5. C - Thanks!

    Jaime - Thanks! The trick is to leave it alone until it gets nice and brown.

  7. Cassie - Thanks! I was really pleased with how they turned out. Like I said above, the key is leaving them alone so they have a chance to get crispy and wonderful.
