SWEET POTATO HOME FRIES

SWEET POTATO HOME FRIES

Home fries. How do we feel about them? Allow me to summarize my thoughts thusly:
Home fries are the best hangover food ever.
^^No truer words have ever been blogged.
Aside from being great hangover food, I’ve always viewed home fries to be that country kitchen staple – there really is nothing like a home fry that crunches to perfection on the outside and splooges on the inside. With just the right amount of salt. And Tobasco. And ketchup.  I believe breakfast restaurants should 200% be scored on the quality of their home fry, because let’s face it: home fries are really what we’re in for anyway, right? Plus the bacon, right? Right.

We all know I’m a mega fan of consuming sweet potatoes in//on//around my breakfast eggs, so I thought I’d pass along some sweet potato home fry steaze for those times you have a hangover to cure, slash some extra time on a weekend morning. It’s really quite simple to prepare this recipe ingredient-wise…really, it’s all in the technique.
Now truth:  These are not going to crisp up quite as well as the crispiest of home fries you’ve consumed in your life. For starters, they’re not deep fried, and secondly, the body chemistry of the sweet potato makes it softer and less crispable than say a russet or a yukon potato. Nevertheless, the little tater tots come out of the skillet piping hot, with a nice crisp-to-splooge ratio, and you’ll want to make and enjoy them ee’ry dang day.
You can change up the spices you add to your home skillet according to your personal taste. You can serve these crisp mongers with your choice of over easy/sunny side up/poached/scrambled egg, and you can also add some sort of funky fresh breakfast sauce I’ve never even heard of. Gravy? That would be too wild for this plain vanilla gal. Not! 
As you can see, I took the sunny side up egg + avocado + hemp seed approach. So simple. So many textures. All the flavors. Breakfast o’ champerines.

WINNING! Does anyone else get a kick out of the psychology of food in relationships? You know that dance most couples do come 6pm? One person doesn’t care what they both eat, but the other person does, but he/she doesn’t want to make a big deal or cause a scene, so he/she’s super unspecific and vague about what he/she wants to eat, so the person who doesn’t care chooses because all he/she wants to do is find a solution and  eat , and the person who does care gets frustrated and makes a big deal and causes a scene because that’s not what he/she wanted, and their partner should know him/her well enough by now, and then there’s this passive-aggressive non-argument that leads to irritation for both people until dinner’s finally over and Netflix he...

SALMON AND ROOT VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

SALMON AND ROOT VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER A one-pan sheet pan dinner recipe with winter root vegetables and salmon. A quick, adaptable recipe perfect for chilly winter evenings in, and the perfect go-to for paleo or Whole30 meals.   Aside from the snow, one of my favorite parts about winter is the produce. I bet you can guess why…  it’s because root vegetables are in season during the winter. Roots are incredibly nutritious, and are a brilliant for those who are looking to step up their vitamin and mineral intake, or for those who are looking for antinflammatory, antioxidant-rich foods. While this meal can be prepared using seasonal produce from any time of year, I’m loving the use of root vegetables for a speedy quick, comforting winter sheet pan dinner. It’s been long time since I’ve highlighted a new root vegetable on the blog, so I thought I’d talk about sunchokes for a hot second. Who here has heard of, tasted, and/or loves sunchokes? They’re such a coo...
