I had a left-over potato, evicted from the beef stew last night on account of carbs -- wait, beef stew? Yes, this:
Beef stew with oxtail, beef shank, Italian sausage and stew beef, along with a
couple of nice fat turnips, carrots, celery, onion, a few cherry
tomatoes, some fresh mushrooms and a very little banana pepper for zing. A store-bought crusty roll on the side.
But back to breakfast: here's this huge baking potato that needs to be used or towed out to sea and sunk, and wouldn't that be a waste?
Also, it's kind of cold in the house, what with the change in the weather, cheapskate landlady and all.
So: four slices of bacon, anointed with smoked Spanish paprika and rubbed sage, fried.
One double-fist-sized baking potato, sliced very thin and fried in a mixture of paprika-sage bacon fat, garlic-ginger stir-fry oil and tasty olive oil, with some "bread-dipping" Mediterranean spice mix dusted over. Even with a 16" skillet, this takes time -- and warms the place up.
A few cherry tomatoes, split and fried and eggs to match, and there you have it: Serious Breakfast! Tamara even declared a "cheat day" and had six or seven (this is cheating?) chips. There'd be photos but it didn't last all that long.
