I didn’t have the best lunch today but it was still really nice. Normally my lunches consist of a sandwich and some potato salad or cole slaw. Boring but ok. Today I decided to get into the fridge and create something simple from what we had. We had:
- some eggs
- leftover baked potatoes from last night
- a few slices of ham about to exceed its “Best Buy” date
- some shredded cheese
- various other things I didn’t bother with
So - I took a couple of small baked potatoes and grated them on the largest side of the grater (so the potato shredded) and chopped up some of the ham. I added those two things to a bowl with some shredded cheese and salt and pepper and mixed it all up. I then got my good skillet out and melted some butter on high heat. Once the butter was melted I added the potato - cheese - ham mixture and flattened it out. Once the underside crisped up I flipped and let the other side crisp up. When it finished I removed it from the pan and added some eggs to fry for us.
Once it was done we could add some egg on the shredded hash brown mix and enjoy! It’s not something that would win me any awards but it was a nice hot lunch. Comfort food you might say. I think it was worth it. Next time I’ll snap a picture!
