Recipe - Scotty's Monster Breakfast Mash
You won't have to wait until the Halloween season to enjoy this scary-good cacophony of basic flavors. What you do need is some leftover fried chicken. It can be whole pieces, chicken strips or even chunks or nuggets (whatever you have on hand), but they should be breaded and fried. If you had cooked up a bunch of bird for the previous night's supper, this is the perfect thing to do with any leftovers.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 whole russet potato,
3 large eggs
2 large fried chicken piece (breast or thigh) or substitute 2 large chicken breast strips or several nuggets, already prepared and cooked
1/2 chopped red bell pepper
3 strips of crispy bacon
1 dash of garlic powder
Optional:
Few dashes of kosher sea salt
Few dashes of fresh ground black pepper
Several splashes of your favorite hot sauce
Sprinkling of shredded cheese
Directions:
Take a medium saucepan, pour in the vegetable oil and bring to a medium heat. Wash and chop up the potato into 1/4 inch pieces and place them into the hot oil, stirring ocassionally. In the meantime, fry or microwave bacon and chop or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Crack open your eggs and mix them in a bowl until well-blended. Cut a large red bell pepper in half and chop in into nice-sized pieces.
By now the potato chunks should be getting a little golden brown on the edges. Take a paper towel-lined plate and put the potatoes on the plate, letting some of the oil drip off (don't squeeze or mash the potato chunks). Turn the heat on your stove to medium-low and place the potatoes, chicken pieces, pepper chunks, and a sprinkling of garlic powder in to the saucepan, mixing them and letting them get hot for about 3-4 minutes in the leftover oil in the pan. Them break up the bacon into various-sized pieces and throw them in the mix, giving them a good stir. If so desired, put in the optional dashes of sea salt and ground black pepper and stir some more.
Bring your heat back up to medium and pour in the eggs. Quickly stir up the ingredients while you attempt to cover the already-cooked chicken, potatoes and peppers with the eggs (some chunks will be coated while others won't, giving you lets of loose egg pieces a la chicken fried rice). Cook until the eggs are no longer liquid.
Place the contents on a plate and top with option al shredded cheese (your choice of kind) and your favorite hot sauce. Will serve two people.
