Wash potatoes and then carefully peel them. Next rinse the potatoes. Cut into 2 inch long strips (like French fries).

Then heat oil in fry pan and fry potatoes until golden brown. Crack eggs in a bowl (make sure there is no egg shell). Scramble eggs and pour into fry pan. Use a spatula to continue scrambling eggs in fry pan mixing them in with the potatoes until well cooked.

Fruity Omelet

Combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Beat with a fork but don't make it frothy. Heat oil on medium heat in a flared omelet pan. To test the heat, pour a drop of egg mixture to make sure it sizzles. Lift the skillet and tilt around to coat the skillet. Pour egg mixture and cook until edges are golden brown. Use spatula to separate omelet into quarters and turn one quarter at a time. Cook on other side until golden.

Drop a spoonful of yogurt and some fruit (strawberries,blueberries, peaches,or any fruit you like) in the center of each omelet quarter. Sprinkle with brown sugar.

Crispy French Toast

6 bread slices
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon oil

Beat eggs. Add milk, sugar, and cinnamon and mix together. Use a fork to dip each bread slice into the mixture one at a time. The key here is to dip it in the mixture long enough to soak well, but not too long so you avoid it breaking apart.

Cook bread on a hot griddle or skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Use a potato masher to gently press down so your French toast is crispy and golden in the center without burning the crust.

Serves 3.

Suggested toppings: pure maple syrup, powdered sugar, creamed honey, cream cheese.
