Spicy Breakfast Home Fries

Submitted by John from CT 2

"This is something I just kind of cooked up one day. This is a great side dish to a hearty breakfast and the leftovers in the pan are great to cook your eggs in. The amount of spices you put in really are to taste, but I can give the approximate amounts that I use. NOTE: Instead of cooking this in olive oil, bacon drippings can be used."

I made this last week and thought this was really good. I did not have any curry powder so I subbed garam masala. I used one and a half teaspoons for the spices and used seasoned salt in place of table salt. I just added the ketchup at the table for those who wanted to put some on their individual portions. ( I like hot sauce and ketchup) Thanks for posting the recipe.

I made it w/out the ketcup. Definitely hot!! It was pretty easy to make & everyone liked it except my dad, but he doesn't like spicy food. He didn't think it was too bad. :) We had watermelon & pancakes w/ it for dinner. The watermelon definitely helped cut back on the spiciness. Thanks 4 the recipe! giovani_chef p.s. I would wait to put the ingredients into the pan until after everything has been prepared to avoid overcooking the onion and garlic.
