Breakfast Potatoes Recipe

Breakfast hash browns potatoes

Golden hash browns are the perfect side dish to any breakfast or meal.

What is the secret to make hash browns more tasty and crispy?

You probably did not know or think of it, but the secret to make the perfect hash browns is to get rid off the moisture. The best way is to use a clean tea towel also known as kitchen towel.

Will this make them more crispiest than ever before?

Yes. After cube cutting them just use a kitchen cloth to gently press out that extra moisture. Or, before frying them add a tad of sea salt and leave it aside.

My stepdad, being a traditional German, and a fine gourmet, would kindly remind my Mum to sponge the moisture from the potato. He loved the very crispy but soft homemade hash browns for breakfast with sausages and scrambled eggs.

I like too though, and for me, it’s actually one great solid breakfast that keeps you going until lunch time.

Anyway here is how to prepare it

Sautéing the potatoes will give them a visually pleasing golden brown color and they will be crunchy. Some people just add salt at the very end to avoid pulling the moisture out.

Fennel recipe
Fennel is a delicious vegetable that smells exactly like black licorice.  Even if you don’t like the taste of black licorice, you will love the taste of this roasted fennel. Fennel tends to shrink down when cooked, so make more than you think you will need. The above picture only fed two of us as a side dish.

Golden beet recipe

Golden beets have a milder flavor than red beets.  This recipe helps to highlight the wonderful flavor.  You might even confuse your guests, because they look very similar to peaches, but taste way different.
