Weekends are a great time to sleep in and make a family breakfast/brunch. This a real luxury for most families as weekends also can involve errands, kids' sports activities, and home projects. Today's recipes can be made on those rare weekends when the family can enjoy a leisurely time together.
This recipe is from MISS MARY BOBO'S COOKBOOK.
BREAKFAST POTATOES
6 potatoes, peeled and grated
1 medium onion, peeled and grated
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c. flour
salt and pepper to taste
oil
In a large bowl combine the first 4 ingredients. In a large skillet heat the oil.Spoon the potato mixture into the hot oil and salt and pepper generously.(I would omit salt) Reduce heat to medium, brown on both sides, remove to platter, and serve hot. May sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
Frittatas make a hearty breakfast/brunch dish as well as a lunch or dinner entree served with a salad or fresh fruit. This recipe comes from COOKING LIGHT COOKBOOK and includes cooked couscous to add texture and make it more filling.
