Yes, I am a Slacker!

Sorry all! I realized when I got an email that I've been too tied up with work and grad school apps the last week to write anything. Sigh. Then again I've been eating canned soup and bread for a week, so it isn't like I've been making gourmet meals. Or anything healthy.

Ugh. I just realized how bad last week sucked. ><

Well time to make up for lost time with some recipes! And maybe leave the coffee shop before closing.... (not likely!)

This is one of my favorite morning recipes to make: it is a great blend of healthy and bacon. If you are going to do this one, nuke the potato the day before and let it chill in icebox for the next day.

Sweat Potato Hashbrowns

Tools:

Cutting Board

Knife

Skillet with lid

Spatula

Food-type items (ingredients)

1 large pre-cooked and chilled sweat potato

1/5th lb of bacon

1 small onion

pepper to taste

Alright, this is really really easy. Put the pan onto medium heat and throw the bacon into the bottom of the pan. While that is cooking, slice up the potato into thin slices and dice the onion up. When the bacon is done, pull out of the pan and set aside. Lower the heat to low, and then spread the potato thinly onto the pan. Sprinkle the potatoes with onions and pepper to taste. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or so. Liberally munch on the bacon while this is cooking, you can't let bacon go to waste.

Optional: Serve with scrambled eggs and more bacon. If you are feeding others, indicate that your cooking expertise relies on liberal acquisition/inhalation of bacon and that your guests should plan a sacrifice/offering of bacon as the traditional sign of respect to the cook. But in all seriousness, I do scrambled eggs at the same time, and serve ketchup for both (this is a Hoosier thing, don't judge me!)

Bien Camino!
