There’s a reason it was and is still so very popular – it’s easy to make, uses ingredients you may well have at home and tastes fantastic. The smell of potatoes and onions frying in a little oil should be enough to convince you – if it isn’t then the added eggs and cheese should do the trick. My favourite herbs are rosemary (the very best for potatoes, in my humble opinion) and basil, although you can use whatever you have laying around. I’ve tried the dish with parsley, thyme and garlic and it’s always delicious. Slicing the potatoes and onion is pretty much the only prep needed – after that it’s just a case of frying. You don’t need to stir too much either – by leaving the pan alone for minutes at a time you’ll let the potatoes get nice and crispy. After adding the onions and eggs the rest of the dish gets a little softer, culminating in a really nice consistency. As long as you don’t cook on too high a heat it’s hard to get it wrong – try for yourself.
Health Benefits – Farmer’s Breakfast
I love to eat this one for breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner. Or after a workout. Or before one. It’s really versatile and fits to any time of the day – the farmers know what they’re doing. From a health perspective I find it’s great for adding carbs to a post-workout meal – helping to restore my glycogen reserves and energy levels. Thanks to the eggs and cheese it’s also high in protein – essential for rebuilding muscle or just staving off decreased immunity or growth failure. Eggs have been a source of much debate over the years, but the general consensus is unless you have particular cholesterol problems then they’re pretty dang awesome. Check out these protein packed egg recipes for more ideas. Something as simple as basil is often forgotten – but the health benefits of it are truly hard to ignore! It’s an anti-inflammatory, helps cardiovascular health in many ways and is an inhibitor of many bacteria, even to those who have become resistant to antibiotic drugs. And finally, did I mention how great it tastes? Give this classic a go and see how quickly it becomes one of your regular meals!
