Perfect Potatoes. Or Peppered Potatoes. Tattered Taters. Superb Spuds.
I don’t know why, but all these alliterated recipe titles were rolling by like the news ticker in my head while I was making brunch yesterday. Which one would you pick? 
I’d been craving for breakfast potatoes since last Sunday when I had some really good ones at Maxwell’s in Culver City with Jen. They were soft and savory and were the perfect start to a lazy Sunday with eggs. I decided to recreate them with what I had on hand.
The usual suspects were called in and lined up: boiled and diced red baby potatoes, garlic, onion and red and green bell peppers.
The garlic and onions were ordered into a pan for a good saute.
Then the red and green bell peppers practically threw themselves into the skillet, and cooked until they were soft.
The potatoes were prodded into the happy mix and all got a good shaking or two of garlic powder and seasoned salt. (If you don’t have seasoned salt, drop in any and all spices you find! Rosemary, basil, onion powder and paprika would do just as well.)
Ahhh, an alliterated, beautiful brunch!
A curly start of the week to all.

I am now absolutely starving. Starving! And I just harvested 20 kgs of potatoes recently that need to be used up. I can’t wait to go home and have some taters :).

- I seriously CANNOT BELIEVE how you can grow your own produce. Despite being an agriculturist’s daughter, I still have the world’s blackest thumb! How nice it would be to actually cook something I grew myself, I hope you have fun with all your fresh veggies!
