This recipe was borne of the idea that baked potatoes should somehow be breakfast foods. After all, they’re already in breakfasts everywhere as hash browns and country potatoes. Scrub one medium sized russet potato. Bring 6 cups of heavily salted water to a boil. Slice the potato into 1/4″ rounds. Drop these rounds into the…

Dutch Oven Pancakes: Pannekoeken
This recipe comes from my husband’s family, and was relayed to me recently using non-measuring terms. Graham held up his hands about an inch and a half apart and told me we used that much sugar. Don’t worry, I have actual measurements for you. Whisk together 3 eggs, 1 tablespoon sugar, a pinch of kosher…

Boil the potatoes for approximately 15 minutes. Drain. Put the potatoes back in the pot, hold the lid on and give the…
Shakshuka: Eggs poached in tomato sauce
This is a great one-pan meal that’s good for breakfast or dinner. For Graham, we threw a little chicken on top for good measure. Preheat your oven broiler. In a cast iron or oven-proof skillet (we use this one from Cuisinart), heat 3 Tbs. olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced yellow or…
