Spicy spuds for breakfast
Who says breakfast potatoes have to be boring?
Not I!
I usually avoid potatoes at breakfast when I dine out because a bunch of fried potatoes dusted with salt (and -if I'm lucky - a bit of pepper) is just plain dull. If that's what I wanted, I'd have ordered fries.
I want a lot more from my spuds.
If I'm making potatoes for myself, I add a whole lot more umph to my breakfast table.
It's not hard to go from mild to wild when it comes to your breakfast spuds. You can add some hot peppers and onions and just a few spices and before you know it your tastebudes will be dancing away with early morning excitement.
Once you try these potatoes, you will be wanting to experiment more. Try jalapenos instead of poblano peppers, try scallions instead of regular onions. Add some cheese. Keep trying different things and you won't ever yawn from boredom at the breakfast table again.
