Hashbrowns

This is a recipe that my mom used to make when I was little. Granted, my version is probably a bit different (smart balance instead of butter, salt sense instead of salt, and I use red potatoes - I don't remember what she used to use). But, the essence is the same. It's not even really hashbrowns, but that's what she used to call it. Also, she used to make it in the pan after cooking eggs, which added some additional flavor. But, enough of that history. Onto my version.

I chopped up 2 medium red potatoes into cubes. Sprayed a pan with non-stick pam spray. Added some smart balance. Set the heat on the stove to medium. Once the smart balance is melted, shake in some salt sense. Then, add the chopped up potatoes. Use a spoon to move the potatoes around so that they don't burn or stick to the pan. Heat until the potatoes are just a little crunchy. Then, serve.

It's a really tasty dish, and not bad health-wise. Red potatoes are very healthy. Plus, they're an excellent source of potassium (better than bananas for that). The smart balance gives it a good fatty acid omega 3 ratio, and the salt sense isn't too bad sodium wise. All in all, it's a great dish when you're in the mood for potatoes or comfort food.
