Totally Easy Breakfast

On this rainy Minnesota day, all we wanted was comfort food. When you wake up to the big gloppy (is that a word) rain/snow mixture, it's just depressing. So the hubby and I decided that we needed a real breakfast, none of this cereal junk. Here's the easiest fritatta ever:

Shred potatoes (I used 4 of those small potatoes from the bottom of the big bag)

Saute these up in 2 Tbs of butter, 2 Tbs of Mrs Dash, 2 Tbs of Onion Flakes (this is the longest process, it takes about 15 - 20 minute but don't turn up the heat, you don't want these too browned)

While these are sauteing, crack and scramble up 5 eggs. You need the extra egg to ensure the fritatta like finished product.

When the potatoes are done, turn the heat down (I put it on 3), add another Tbs of butter and add the eggs over the potatoes, cover.

In two minutes, add some Veggie Shreds (I used Monterrey Jack flavor) or regular cheese to taste.

Things I will do differently next time - I will add a little jalapeno pepper and instead of onion flakes, I will take the time to cut up a real onion. The hubby said some bacon would be good on his side.

Total time was 30 minutes, 10 min prep and 20 minute of cooking.

Bon Appetit

In three more minutes it's done, slice and serve...delicious!!!!

Potatoes are on Sale

This week potatoes were on sale, 5 lb bag for $1.99 so we are eating potatoes. Here is a simple and easy recipe for home made french fries.

When you purchase bags of potatoes you get some big and small spuds. Pick out 6 small spuds about the same size. This is a good way to use the smaller potatoes in a bag.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Clean and slice potatoes. You will slice the potatoes 3 times lengthwise to get 4 sections of potatoes then 3 to 4 slices lengthwise to create the fries.

Place these on a cookie sheet. Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of olive oil on the potatoes and mix to coat all fries. Salt and Pepper to taste.

Bake for 15 minutes, then flip fries. They will be a little hard to flip at this point in time and may stick a little, this is okay.

Bake for 20 minutes and they should be golden brown and a little crunchy. The second bake time is for your taste so play with it a little to get the best and healthiest french fries in town!

Enjoy!
