A simple hearty breakfast recipe of 5 Ingredient Mexican Potato Stack. All of your favorite Mexican ingredients with an egg on top. Drizzle with your favorite hot sauce or salsa, and serve up deliciousness.
One of the things I love more than anything is making a hearty breakfast for my family. There’s something about cooking up something delicious for the first meal of the day that fills my heart with joy. Now, I’m not talking about a giant breakfast, I am a busy mom, that’s a fact Jack. So how do you whip up something healthy and hearty in a short time? One way is using leftovers and another is using products like Simply Potatoes, like I did for this recipe.
I used Simply Potatoes Mashed Potatoes because they are fresh potatoes and heated them in the microwave. Then added them to a hot skillet sprayed with cooking spray in patties and crisped them up. They will be a bit loose, but that makes them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Flip carefully! I heated up a can of seasoned black beans while the potato pancakes were cooking and then sliced up some avocado, fried a few eggs and to top it all off, I drizzled it with bottled salsa. Everything cooks while the potato pancakes are sizzling in the pan.
This was a big hit and everyone gobbled it right up! How’s that for a quick breakfast that won’t have you slaving over the hot stove for hours? I know, I’m a giver. Here’s the recipe. Make sure you make it soon!
