Do you have a favorite food that brings back comforting memories of childhood or another special time? If so, you\u2019re just like millions, if not a few billion others. <\/p>\n
Comfort food is usually a home cooked, simple, and inexpensive dish or meal. Macaroni and cheese is a typical comfort dish that spans the U.S., while there are regional favorites. I\u2019m originally from the South Eastern U.S. and like many others from that area, barbeque, chicken dumplings, friend chicken, and mashed potatoes remind me of home and sweeter times.<\/p>\n
I think my favorite comfort food is a breakfast scramble, though. Breakfast was a relaxing thing for me as a child, a time to slow down before running out of the house for school. My grandmother always made sure the morning meal was perfect for the day to come. Every breakfast seemed tailored, just right for whatever came my way. In the fall and winter months when the weekends came or holiday vacations finally rolled around, grandma made another southern favorite: Fried Taters and Onions.<\/p>\n
Ok, so that might sound more like a side dish for dinner, but hear me out. It\u2019s one of the easiest one dish breakfasts around and can have just about any of your normal breakfast ingredients included. Some people use a frying pan, while others use a deep pot. I am one who prefers a deeper pot with sturdy handles due to everything I throw into mine!<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have a set recipe, so I\u2019m going to be general with the amounts of everything. It\u2019s more a matter of taste than an exact science.<\/p>\n
First, scrub your potatoes. Use whatever kind you like the best, though a dry baking potato will give the best texture. I usually use six or seven large, sliced into rounds or cut into tiny cubes like home fries. Chop one medium onion. Drop it all into a hot pan that you have melted butter in, or coated with olive oil. Cover and check occasionally, stirring until done. The potatoes will be brown in some places, crisp with soft insides. <\/p>\n
Ok, now your \u2018Taters and Onions\u2019 are done, but if you want a great scramble, add in beaten eggs, cooked bacon or sausage, just about any meat or vegetable you enjoy. Cheese makes a great topper after the eggs are cooked firm. <\/p>\n
Mm. I think I am going to go have a Scramble now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
