If morning carbs are your thing and potatoes are your weakness, then you’ll also love my Baked Parmesan Hashbrowns Recipe.

I love eggs for breakfast. They fill me up and taste good. I’m one of those weirdos, though, who cannot eat an egg plain. There’s something about the texture.  Eggs are too soft or something, but I cannot just eat a bite of egg without a piece of toast, bacon, and/or potatoes.  My son, on the other hand, who is barely old enough to have just lost his first baby teeth, can eat three eggs over medium with nothing on his plate but the fork he uses to shovel them in his mouth.

I used to be afraid to make my own breakfast potatoes.  I would spread the potatoes out on the baking sheet and pour the oil on top. Then they’d end up too greasy and some of the potatoes would have no oil at all. I find that tossing the oil and spices with the potatoes and onion in a bowl before cooking puts a perfectly thin and even layer of oil and spice on each little piece.  I only flip my potatoes once during the cooking process. No need to baby them and constantly stir them.  They will turn out perfectly tender and soft on the inside and nicely crisp on the outside.  You will love them!
