Today was my day off…so when I woke up I decided to go ahead and whip myself up a yummy breakfast! At my house we absolutely love breakfast potatoes, usually with bacon and bell peppers and such. I decided to take our standard and mix it up a little bit. I started off by dicing up my potatoes into bite size pieces, spraying them with a little cooking spray (to keep them from sticking to each other) and topping them off with some seasonings. Black pepper, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper =-D I LOVE cayenne pepper on my breakfast potatoes…but you can always omit this if you are not into spicy. Into the microwave they went for 3-4 minutes. While those were cooking, I heated up some olive oil in a medium pan and added in some minced garlic and a package of pre-diced pancetta. I let those hang out for a few minutes and then added in the potatoes. Over about medium heat I let this mixture finish cooking…about 7-10 minutes depending on how you like your potatoes. Once the potatoes were done and perfectly browned I added in about 3 cups of baby spinach and let it wilt down. Then it was into a serving bowl! I topped my potato mixture with some fresh grated parmesan cheese and voila! It was just starting to rain outside and get pretty windy, so into the sitting room I went for breakfast by the fireplace. A wonderful beginning, to a great day!
Happy Cooking!
