Once in a while recipes come along that I just can’t stop eating, and these breakfast potatoes are one such recipe. All of us on the blog absolutely loved the farmer’s breakfast, and I know Kat and Dave recently changed over to the Spanish omelette as a breakfast staple. I’ve never been a fan of eggs though, and I decided if I could cut those out, then why not make it completely vegan? And so, the vegan breakfast potatoes (or breakfast hash?) were born. They’re quick, easy, hot, have loads of flavour and are even high in protein (thanks to the tofu). What’s not to like?
Vegan breakfast potatoes – breaking the fast the right way
There really is something great about cooking in the morning. Getting a good, solid breakfast in (that still only takes twenty minutes) has a lot going for it. Especially if it was an active morning, post-gym or such. Even if it wasn’t, I find it a great start to the day. It’s a nice high fiber breakfast too – fiber is something that way too many people don’t get enough off. If you leave the skins on the potatoes you get even more (and save time too). Did I mention how good this breakfast hash tastes? I did? Good. Well, I will again anyway. Vegan food often seems to come with the common misconception that it’s not as good as ‘regular’ food. Try these and see if you think the same after.
Protein Power
As briefly mentioned, tofu is an excellent source of protein, especially considering it’s not an animal product. It’s also cheap and high in unsaturated (good) fats. Not to mention it tastes great when done right (which is exactly what this recipe does). While soy products are certainly a current debate, when looking more deeply into the issue it seems that the evidence leaning towards soy in a good light is far higher than the other way around. As always, we recommend moderation: enjoy soy a couple or few times a week – but not with every meal. Simple.
