Simple Christmas Morning Breakfast

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I’ve been requesting this breakfast on Christmas morning for the past few years and will continue to request this meal for many years to come.  Here’s the line-up: Potato pancake with a poached egg on top, served with a side of dressed greens and a mimosa.

My dad makes potato pancakes very simply: grates the potatoes, squeezes out the excess water and spreads over a heated nonstick pan with butter and olive oil.  Once crispy, the pancake is flipped once and seasoned with salt and pepper, served with a poached egg on top.  Once you poke into the yolk, it oozes all over the pancake and serves as the perfect condiment- get that bottle of ketchup away from this masterpiece!  The perfect accompaniment for this meal is a side of dressed greens and a champagne mimosa.
