one of my 'comfort food' breakfasts

my favorite meal of the day is breakfast, hands-done.  i think it stems from childhood: Mom always made a big deal about making sure we kids had breakfast, regardless of what we were going to do that day; and she'd go big.  i mean, BIG.  a typical breakfast in our family that was a big treat growing-up was the fried eggs, rice, and ketchup.  or else, we'd have to 'settle' for oatmeal or cold cereal.  but when Mom would whip up that frying pan to roast garlic in olive oil for the garlic rice.  whenever we visit my parents in CaLi, Mom still does a huge breakfast for us.

my favorite breakfast foods are eggs and rice; but i love to change it up.  this morning, i made the eggs medium-over-easy, turmeric with cilantro potatoes and a side of Morningstar vegetarian breakfast sausage.
turmeric-cilantro potatoes

• 2 small yukon potatoes, with skins on and chopped
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1 tbs fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 tsp turmeric
• 1/8 tsp chili pepper
• 1/4 tsp crushed peppercorns (i used rainbow peppercorns, the multi-colored kinds)
• 1 dash of ground ginger

heat olive oil in medium frying pan on medium-high heat for 2 minutes.  add potatoes all at once.  stir and fry for 10 minutes, while adding all spices.  during last minute before removing from heat, stir in cilantro.  serve immediately (because the potatoes get cold pretty quickly if uncovered).  i like to eat mine with a tad of ketchup and Sriracha hot sauce to give the meal an extra kick.

Sriracha can be found in any asian supermarket
