crispy potatoes
Hiya! Today we will discuss about Quick & Crispy Home Fries Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • Chopped fresh chives (optional)
  • 1 pinch onion powder
  • Cayenne pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Arrange potato pieces evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high temperature until it gets tender, about 4 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature. Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks. Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts and starts to turn brown, swirl the pan and add the potatoes. Shake pan to arrange in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. As potatoes turns brown, toss them and keep turning them every few minutes until they are crusty and crispy-edged and a rich reddish-brown color, 10 to 12 minutes. If potatoes seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium and serve topped with chopped chives.

Potato & spring onion breakfast pancakes

Put the potatoes in a large pan of salted water and boil until tender. Drain well, tip back into the pan, shake for 1 min over a gentle heat to dry them off, then mash and leave to cool. Put the cooled mash in a bowl with the flour and bicarb. Whisk 1 egg with the milk, season, tip into the bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir in the spring onions, reserving some to serve. In a non-stick frying pan, heat half the oil and butter until sizzling, then spoon in half the pancake batter to make 3 pancakes. Cook for 1 min or so on each side until browned and set underneath, then flip and cook the other side. Keep warm in the oven while you make 3 more pancakes. Wipe out the pan, add the bacon and sizzle until almost crisp. Push to one side and crack in the 2 remaining eggs – with a splash more oil if needed. Fry to your liking, then serve with the pancakes and bacon, sprinkled with the remaining spring onions.

Tip 200ml water into a small non-stick pan and stir in porridge oats. Cook over a low heat until bubbling and thickened. (To make in a microwave, use a deep container to prevent spillage as the mixture will rise up as it cooks, and cook for 3 mins on High.) Stir in yogurt – or swirl in half and top with the rest. Serve plain or with one of our toppings (see ‘goes well with’).
