I think my favourite breakfast food has got to be taters.  I love the crispy exterior with the soft interior.  I love how the spices make them so flavourful. And now, I can make them in my own home without having to buy the frozen stuff in the grocery store that doesn’t taste nearly as good. 

This is my version of breakfast taters. It’s made with masquerade potatoes, organic extra virgin olive oil and a variety of spices.  I’m having them with a Truffle Mayonnaise made with organic free range eggs by Neal Brothers.  Neal Brothers sent me a sample to try and I’m pretty amazed by the taste of it and how well it compliments this dish.  You can really taste the truffle oil.  Their products can be found at most Canadian grocers.  

I also want you guys to know that I’m truthful to my readers about the products that I use in my recipes.  If a product doesn’t taste good, then they’re out.  I’d feel terrible for telling anyone about a product that doesn’t live up to its words.  If a product doesn’t work, I will finish it myself (to reduce on waste) but I don’t feature ones I’m not happy with.  I’m also not sponsored by any companies listed. Although some may send me products for free, I’m not paid to feature them so there’s a difference between receiving free samples and being sponsored for a post.  

Alright back to this recipe, it’s so quick to make and perfect for those mornings where you want to have a nice breakfast but you don’t want to change out of your PJ’s.  Perfect for weekend mornings with the family or just by yourself 🙂  

Well I hope you guys enjoy this recipe!  If you make it, please take a picture of it and tag @christieathome on Instagram and it may be featured.  If you’re not on Instagram, please share it with your family and friends.
