Creole Smokey Breakfast Potatoes Recipes

CHEESY CREOLE BREAKFAST SKILLET

Steps:

• For the Creole sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, Cajun seasoning, paprika, pickle, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and chives in a small bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until the skillet is done.
• For the skillet: Preheat the broiler. Toss the shrimp with the House Seasoning in a small bowl and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and green and red peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, andouille and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are opaque and the sausage is heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Add the eggs and milk and slowly scramble the mixture with a silicone spatula, scraping up large curds from the bottom of the pan. As soon as the eggs are almost set, but still a tiny bit runny (about 2 minutes), remove from the heat and sprinkle with the Cheddar.
• Broil until the cheese melts, 10 to 15 seconds. Remove the skillet from the oven, drizzle with some Creole sauce, and sprinkle with the green onions.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

VERY EASY CREOLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray Pam into a 11X9 glass baking dish (potatoes will stick without it).
• Peel potatoes and cut to desired size.
• Lay potatoes in one layer in baking dish.
• Pour olive oil evenly over cut up potatoes.
• Sprinkle creole seasoning and parsley flakes to taste.
• Lightly stir to evenly coat all pieces.
• Cover with aluminum foil and place in oven.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven, uncover and lightly stir.
• Replace in oven uncovered and bake for 15 minutes longer or till all pieces are soft (depending on size of potato pieces).
• Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning contains salt, red pepper, garlic and other spices. Probably "secret" spices. You can substitute a low salt variety or maybe another brand. Mrs. Dash might work. Personally I need salt on potatoes.
• If you are in a hurry, which I usually am, you can microvave the potatoes in the glass dish for 10 minutes on high and then pop in the oven for 10 minutes to brown. It is not as good this way, but you said you were in a hurry.

CREOLE-STYLE OVEN HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook potatoes in medium pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Spread potatoes on heavy large baking sheet. Sprinkle with paprika, chili powder and Creole seasoning. Season with salt. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and stir to coat.
• Bake potatoes until crisp, turning with metal spatula every 10 minutes, about 40 minutes.

SMOKY SPANISH POTATOES AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place potatoes on a sheet pan and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and season with 1 tsp. kosher salt. Toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and starting to brown, 25 minutes.
• While the potatoes roast, in a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chiles, sauce, tomato paste, paprika, and cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are coated and the mixture has darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat and immediately add sherry vinegar; scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and stir to combine.
• Transfer the onion-chiles mixture to a food processor or blender (reserve the pan; there's no need to wash it). Add the tomato and season with black pepper and ¾ tsp. salt. Pulse, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed, until the mixture forms a mostly smooth, thick paste.
• Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Transfer roasted potatoes to the reserved skillet; add the sauce and stir to thoroughly coat. Use a spoon or spatula to create three wells in the potato mixture; drizzle 2 tsp. olive oil between the three wells. Crack an egg into each well and season with salt and pepper. Bake until the whites of the eggs are set but the yolk is still runny, about 6-8 minutes. Top with chopped parsley and mayonnaise before serving.
