breakfast for dinner.

20 November 2011

Sometimes breakfast for dinner is just so good. It's like comfort food. I am amping-up the breakfast with french fries and wine. Breakfast for dinner is also so easy & quick, which is nice on a weekday when you are tired & hungry. 

the menu.

4 organic free-range eggs, cooked over-easy

french fries

2 oranges, sliced (and for health measure)

red wine for the lady & lager for the gentlemen

(& more birthday cake for dessert!)

for the french fries.

2 large potatoes, scrubbed

vegetable oil for frying (I used 2-3 inches in the pot)

maldon sea salt

1. Cut potatoes in half horizontally; cut each half into 1/3-inch-thick fries. 
2. Place cut fries in a bowl of cold water; let soak 1/2 hour. Remove from water and dry thoroughly. 
3. Heat oil to 300° in a  large heavy pot. Working in batches, fry potatoes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 4 to 5 minutes. 
4. Drain fries on a cookie rack set on top of a sheet pan; let cool. Once you've fried all potatoes, raise heat to 375°. Working in batches, fry again until dark brown and crispy, 2 minutes. 
5. Drain on rack; sprinkle with salt and serve.

happy eatings & cheers!
