Yummy Potatoes with Bacon chunks!

Yesterday I made breakfast for my family. 

Original menu was: Eggs, Strips of Bacon, Cubed Potatoes.

I started cooking up the Potatoes, when I decided to chop the bacon & combine it with the potatoes... maybe with some onion or what not. So pretty much I mixed ingredients together for this easy side. 

My <3 really enjoyed them. 

RECIPE:

Ok, this fed 2 adults & kids.

2-3 large Potatoes (1/2 or 1 per person)

6-7 strips of Bacon (2 per person)

2 Green Onions (scallions) chopped

1 large garlic clove (minced)

1-2 Yellow peppers (chile gueros) *optional

Wash & with skins chop potatoes into small cubes. Pre heat a large skillet on medium-heat add enough Grape seed oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

(Make sure oil is hot before adding in potatoes or they will absorb to much oil.)

Cook about 10-15mins stirring frequently or until golden brown.

Drain & place on a napkin to drain excess oil. Set Aside.

Wipe skillet clean, chop bacon, & cook in the same skillet until slightly crispy.

Drain & place on napkin to remove excess oil. (Set aside)

Wipe down the same skillet again!!! Or use a clean skillet.

Add 1/2 of Grape Seed Oil.

Saute: Garlic, Green onions & yellow pepper until tender.

(the peppers gave the potatoes a kick & this is completely optional... try it!!)

Combine Potatoes & bacon with onion mixture well. Turn heat off! 

I served these alongside eggs!



ENJOY!

Salmon & Potato Cakes

Crab cakes are so yummy right??

 I never buy fresh crab, so I used Fresh Salmon instead. Came up with this recipe one day I had no idea what to make for dinner & it was an instant hit. I've made this many times, despite the

 ingredient list, they're fairly easy. Not to mention Delicious!!

I've only made this remoulade recipe once & really enjoyed the flavors.

1/2 - 1 lb. Fresh Salmon (cut into even steaks)

2 large potatoes (cube)

1/4 onions (finely diced)

Fresh Thyme

Salt & Pepper

Flour (eyeball)

Egg wash (1-2 eggs & splash water, stir)

Panko Breadcrumbs

1. Cube potatoes and place in a pot with salted water to boil. About 15mins or until tender.
2. Drain and Set aside.
3. Season Salmon with Salt & pepper (Pre-heat large skillet)
4. Diced onion, add grape seed oil to skillet and saute 2 mins (until translucent).
5. Add Salmon steaks and saute about 5-6 mins per side.
6. Transfer Salmon & onions to a large glass bowl, add potato, thyme, and smash to combine.

Simple Remoulade Sauce:

(white sauce photographed)

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

2 Tbsp finely chopped scallions

2 Tbsp finely chopped sweet pickles (or relish)

dash garlic powder

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

few drops Worcestershire sauce

pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl & allow to set in the frig. for 1 hr.

This sauce really brightens up the Salmon Cakes. A relative of mine who's an amazing
 Chef suggested it, he was right! (No more ketchup) 

Serve with Your favorite Salad.

ENJOY!
