It’s Breakfast Week! Does your busy schedule keep you from making hearty breakfasts? This scrumptious four-part feast will fit its way into your evening repertoire in a flash! Today’s recipe is for “Cottage Style Hash Browns” and the remaining trio can be whipped up while the potatoes are sauteing in the skillet. Talk about satisfying! Hash browns also make a great side dish for other evening meals. Remember Mom & Dad talking about “meat & potatoes” this is what they meant
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds red, Yukon gold or russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion; sliced thin
- 2 glove garlic; minced
- 1 small green pepper; sliced thin
- 1/2 teaspoon of both onion and garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Direction:
- Boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until firm, but fork tender.
- Place into a bath of ice water; cool for 10 minutes or refrigerate until time to use. The peel can be removed easily after the ice bath.
- Grate potatoes with a box grater.
- Saute remaining veggies in oil and butter until onions are slightly translucent about 5-7 minutes.
- Add potatoes and spices; saute on medium heat until golden brown on the bottom.
- Turn and brown the other side.
Makes 2 large servings or 4 small.
Once Upon a Spice 
One of the first things I ticked off my list of must-do’s when I arrived here was to find the best diner in the area and go and sit at the counter and eat breakfast all by myself. This reveals the fact that I am a slave to breakfast …. so this week is a treat for me! I have never made hash browns but I have eaten them and I adore them. I will certainly give them a whirl and my husband will probably love me even more as a result because he’s a slave to brekkie too (but don’t tell, he likes to pretend his racing snake physique is a result of careful eating when the truth is he’s got lucky genes!!)

haha, Osyth! Being a slave to breakfast is so wonderful! Much better than being a slave to chocolate which I nether admit or deny 🙂 I have a hubby with a raging metabolism & the lucky gene too! He says we are a perfect fit–I prepare the food & he eats it as I look on 🙂 Thanks, my friend ♥

I do love me some good hashed browns. I love sauteing some spinach quickly with crushed red pepper flakes and a squeeze of lemon juice, then plopping that on the hashed browns with a fried egg. Oh Yumm! But please, can you just serve me that entire plate right now??? It all looks so down-home comforting right now. xo
