One of my friends received a food basket containing 20 pounds of potatoes and 5 pounds of onions. She shared them with me, and I made a big pot of mashed potatoes and served them with my special beer cheese gravy.
I used the leftover mashed potatoes in my breakfast recipe:
1. Sauté chopped onions in a large skillet in olive oil for 2-3 minutes.
2. Drop leftover mashed potatoes by half-cup size mounds into the skillet, on top of the onions. Sauté until lightly browned on the bottom, then flip. Smash the potatoe mounds down slightly and sauté until slightly browned. Using a spoon, make indentations in the top of each mound and drop an egg into each indentation. Cook for a few more minutes until the eggs are slightly cooked then carefully flip. Sprinkle salt and pepper on potatoes then top with shredded cheese (I used sharp cheddar this time, but I use any type of cheese I have on hand)
When the eggs are cooked to your liking (I like mine over easy) serve on individual plates. Top with chopped fresh tomatoes and snipped green onions.
Sometimes I slice a fresh jalapeño (seeded and sliced) or green or red pepper in with the onions and sauté as well. This recipe adapts well to using any fresh veggies I have available.
Thank you for the great ideas!
