We love Brinner (breakfast for dinner, that is) at our house. It usually happens weekly. It's also usually my favorite night of the week for 2 reasons. First, breakfast usually comes together pretty quickly and doesn't involve a lot of planning or prep work. Second, we can eat breakfast foods that w typically don't have time for on rushed mornings. I love breakfast foods and I guess I just can't get my fill in the mornings. This was a perfect dinner for me. My kids also gobbled it right up after dipping it in ketchup. I might have told them it was french fries. Either way, we had full happy tummies at our house.
The potato part of the recipe is really flexible. When I made them I used frozen hashbrowns. Lu made them with grated fresh potatoes that she microwaved briefly. I also think they would be super delicious with these skillet potatoes that I have been loving lately. I'm a big fan of working with whatever you've got on hand. Just do what works for you.
