Every now and again my preference for cooking from scratch runs smack into my need for quick and easy. Tonight was a perfect example. With my daughter eating and sleeping over a friend's house my wife said she could really go for something quick and simple for dinner.
"How about eggs and something?" she suggested. "Hash Browns", I offered up. "Perfect", said she. See? Simple, really simple.
Perhaps if this was a Sunday morning and I was in the mood for an old fashioned "cholesterol festival", I might have started these potatoes off fresh. I do cook some crazy hash browns and sausage...
