"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles."
Isaiah 40:31
If you're enjoying a breakfast tailgate, you'll want to offer your guests some variation of cooked potato. These home fries are sure to please everyone, and are easy to make.
Time Required: 1-2 hours
Skill Required: Minimal cooking skills needed
Ingredients:
- Lots of potatoes, either redskin or small baking potatoes
- About one onion for every 8-10 potatoes (just eye it up - tailgate cooking is not exact)
- Butter or margarine
- Mexican or Southwest seasoning
- Salt, pepper, and garlic
- Roast beef pan (basically a cookie sheet with two-inch-high sides); this is excellent for cooking on the grill and can be thrown out if gets destroyed because its cheap
Steps:
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
- Boil enough water to cover the potatoes.
- Cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Cut the onion into small slices, and put the potatoes and onion into a zip-lock bag. Keep refrigerated until you get to the tailgate.
- Once at the tailgate, put the roast beef pan on the grill and melt butter in it. Add the potatoes & onions, and season with a tremendous amount of Mexican or Southwest seasoning. Each potato should be coated. Also add salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Keep adding butter to keep the potatoes moist.
- Be careful while cooking, as the pan becomes very hot. Keep stirring the potatoes, while trying not to break them up.
- When they look done, they're done. Remember, you're really just heating them since they are already cooked through.
- Serve with other breakfast food (no ketchup allowed!
