Greedy Girl : Breakfast Fried Potato Salad

The Breakfast of Champions

I should have called this dish loaded home fries; however, I already edited the video with the "breakfast fried potato salad" title. So "it is, what it is." And what it is, is the most delicious potato dish I have made in quite a while.

I will go out on a limb and assume you already have everything in your kitchen ready to make this. Maybe you might just have to go out and get cilantro. I wanted to make a kitchen staple recipe. Something you could head down to your kitchen to make after reading this post because you already have everything. I always aim for my recipes to be "attainable," for lack of a better word. I want you to see yourself making this. If you are a lover of potatoes, bacon, and eggs for breakfast, the buck stops here.

I would eat this for breakfast every single day. The potatoes are perfectly crispy coated in the light honey garlic and ginger glaze. You get bursts of salty from the bacon, the herbs bring a freshness, and then the jammy boiled egg adds the soft creamy texture to bring everything together. It just works, it's for sure one to try, call it a hash, call it home fries, call it potato salad...I call it delicious.

Ingredients (printable recipe)

4 large potatoes

1 onion

3 tablespoon corn starch

6-8 bacon strips

2 eggs

salt and black pepper to taste

3 tablespoon honey

1 garlic clove shredded

1 tablespoon ginger shredded

½ cup chopped scallion

½ cup chopped cilantro

other

salty water to boil potatoes

oil to fry potatoes

Instructions

cut potatoes into even cubes
place in salted boiling water with half a small onion and cook until 80 percent done
remove potatoes and onion from the boiling water and set on a cooling rack to completely cool
fry bacon until crispy and chop into strips
finely chopped cilantro and scallion greens
in a bowl, mix together honey ginger and garlic and set aside
Add two room temperature eggs to boiling water and boil for 7 minutes
Remove the eggs and place under cold water or in an ice bath to stop the cooking process
once the potatoes are cold, heat some oil to 350, add the onion to the oil and allow it to fry, and infuse the flavor into the oil
toss the potatoes in corn starch
fry the potatoes in small batches until they are light and golden, remove and set aside on the cooling rack and continue to fry until all potatoes have had a first fry
place the first batch back into the oil and fry for a few seconds until they become dark golden this happens quite quickly.
sprinkle a few dashes of salt unto the finished potatoes while hot
to serve, toss together potatoes, scallion cilantro, black pepper, and honey sauce in a bowl
top with salt and black pepper seasoned boiled egg

Greedy Tips:

Once assembled serve immidiatly
If not serving the dish immediately do not mix it all together, but rather serve as family style allowing each person to mix their own plate adding as little or as many elements of the dish as they like. If doing this method, triple the amount of honey sauce
Don't eat bacon? Use smoked salmon instead
