Potato and Pepper Home Fries
I wanted to post this recipe for the longest time. I don’t end up making these home fries very often but they are so delicious… they deserve to be on this blog! Try this next time you are in the mood for eggs…
- 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil
- 6 to 7 green onions, whites and greens chopped and separated
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 to 4 medium yellow potatoes, chopped into ½ inch cubes
- 1 yellow or any color pepper, chopped
- Salt
Add the chopped potatoes to a medium saucepan. Top with water and bring to a boil. Drain and let dry.
Heat a cast iron pan with the olive oil. Add the potatoes and sauté on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the whites of the green onions, garlic and yellow pepper and sauté for another 5 to 10 minutes. Add salt and the greens of the green onion. Check for seasonings and serve with brunch or breakfast.
Sausage and Eggs Cooked in Marinara Sauce
I made this on a busy Sunday late morning/early afternoon. I picture this being made the day after a big holiday dinner- especially if you have a big crowd.
I cooked it for the three of us but it can be made for a big crowd.
I had leftover homemade tomato sauce. I have to say, after returning from Italy- I am incapable of opening a can of San Marzano tomatoes to make marinara sauce, instead I have to buy fresh tomatoes and go through the lengthy process of making it at home. The taste difference is unbelievable- anyway, so that is what I had in the fridge. I also had a pack of chicken sausages in the freezer. I thawed them, took the casing out and chopped them up.
I sauteed them and added the tomato sauce. I cracked a few eggs and covered the pan and in a few minutes, brunch was done. I had some bake your own baguettes from Trader Joes. I baked one of them and made a big green salad.
The brunch was delicious! So easy- and the possibilities are endless… You can add all sorts of meats, or shrimp to this- or make it Mexican and serve it with guacamole, etc.
Definitely make this – it’s great!
- 4 chicken sausage links, take the casing out and chop into small pieces
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup homemade tomato sauce
- 3 or 4 eggs
- Salt
- Pepper
In a wide frying pan, heat the olive oil. Add the sausage pieces and sauté on medium heat for 5-6 minutes or till golden brown. Add the tomato sauce and heat for a minute or two. Crack each egg distributing them evenly in the pan. Cook covered for 3-4 minutes depending on how cooked you want the eggs. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper.
Serve with a hot baguette and green salad.
