A recipe for a brunch item was requested a while back, and for some reason I was rendered unable to post to newsgroups. Hopefully this will go through! EGGS & POTATOES =============== (serves 4) Ingredients: 6 large eggs 2 medium potatoes, diced in 1/2" cubes 1/2 a medium onion, finely chopped 1 tbl Mrs. Dash seasoning (no salt variety) 1 tsp Lawry's Seasoned salt 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese (it's got more of a bite than Parmesan) Directions: Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Add Mrs. Dash seasoning, Lawry's seasoned salt and black pepper. Beat for another minute. Add Romano cheese and beat for another minute. Set aside. In a large skillet, melt 2 tbls butter over medium heat. DO NOT BURN THE BUTTER. Add the chopped onion and sautee until the onions are almost a golden brown. Add diced potatoes and flip them around in the pan until the onions and potatoes are covered with the butter. Sprinkle potato/onion mixture with about 1/2 tsp of Mrs. Dash seasoning. (Note: you might have to add more butter, but you don't want a POOL of it in the pan!) Try to distribute the potatoes/onions evenly along the bottom of the skillet so they will become a golden brown. Cover and cook for about 4 minutes. Uncover and turn the potato/onion mixture to brown the other side, covered, 4 minutes, or until potatoes are just about cooked (NOT TOO SOFT!). Pour egg mixture over potato/onions (sprinkle the top with an additional 3 tbls of grated romano cheese if you want it cheesier), cover skillet and reduce heat to simmer. This will make the eggs very fluffy. Simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes. Uncover and check eggs; they should have risen quite a bit and have become almost dry on top (like an omelet). Cut apart the egg mixture in the skillet in quarters and flip to cook the other side of the eggs, another 3-4 minutes or so. Remove from heat and let sit, uncovered, for about 3 minutes. Enjoy! This goes especially well with buttered toast, a big cup of coffee and an even bigger glass of ice cold orange juice! You won't eat again until dinner time!
