post-holiday leftover breakfast
I am not a fan of leftovers but after a HUGE holiday meal, you can’t really help it. My tradition has always been to make a day-after-the-holiday breakfast.
ingredients (leftovers):
garlic mashed potatoes
butter
ham, chopped
one egg
dash of milk
garlic salt
pepper
rolls
cheese
Take your leftover mashed potatoes and shape them into small patties, about the size of the palm of your hand. Heat some butter in a skillet on medium high heat. Place the patties in the pan and don’t move until the underside has browned. Then flip them over and brown the other side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
In a small bowl crack your egg, add a dash of milk and some garlic salt and little pepper. Add the chopped ham and scramble up with a fork. Add a little more butter to the pan, then scramble the egg. It will sit a little better on your roll if the egg is more firm.
Place the egg scramble on the roll, top with a small slice of cheese and serve with your potato pancake. A lovely homey holiday breakfast.
