I don’t think you can go wrong with fried mashed potatoes however you choose to cook them. Leftover mash fried in a pan with egg and bacon is possibly my favourite, but potato cakes like these come a very close second.

BACON, EGG AND TOMATO PIE
The traditional egg and bacon pie in our family never has tomato or onion in it, so to me this is a very fancy version. But if you must add the tomato my advice would be not to add too much as it can make it soggy – or just follow our example and leave it (and maybe the onion as well) out. Sometimes the old way is the really best way!!!!!
POTATO AND CHORIZO HASH BROWNS
Since our trip to Spain and Portugal last year I’ve become very fond of chorizo sausages and am using them in all sorts of dishes. This week I made Spanish Beef with Chorizo in the slow cooker and I really like them sliced and fried in cider with a glass of wine. So adding them into hash browns can only be a good thing.
BAKED BEAN HASH
My daughter and her family have been caught up in the latest Melbourne hotspot lockdown and are now faced with another four weeks of social isolation. It’s hard for them to return to the conditions that most us us have now been freed from, but one of the positives of the last round was that our lovely 9 year old granddaughter cooked lunches for them. So I’m posting this easy hash brown and baked bean recipe for her to try this time.
BOUNTY DAY PIE
So what is a Bounty Day pie you’re asking……well according to Wikipedia…. ‘Bounty Day is a holiday on both Pitcairn Island, destination of the Bounty mutineers, and on Norfolk Island. It is celebrated on 23 January on Pitcairn, and on 8 June on Norfolk Island, the day that the descendants of the mutineers arrived on the island’. I guess this is a pie they make to celebrate the day, although it does seem fairly similar to a Greek beef and spinach pie – don’t suppose it matters what you call it, as long as it tastes good.
VEGETARIAN COCONUT RICE TERRINE
Not sure I’d bother making this for a family meal, but when life eventually returns to normal and we’re allowed to have people over again for a meal it would be a great entree or lunch dish. Stay well and safe everyone……………
FRENCH ONION PIE
This onion pie is pretty easy to make, except perhaps for the onion chopping, and would be great hot or cold for lunch or dinner.
FRITTER CRITTERS…..Cheesy Corn Fritters
Varying lunches at home each day instead of having the usual packed lunch at school or work is certainly a challenge. These corn fritters are something the kids can make and you can all enjoy together.
CREAMY ONION AND CHEESE SLICE
You could serve this onion and cheese slice with a salad for a light lunch, but it would also work cut into slices as a tasty snack or maybe even cold in a lunchbox.
VEGETARIAN RICE RISSOLES
I always think of rissoles of being yummy meaty balls, but this recipe is a very different style of rissole. You can add tuna or salmon if you wish, but just a few other vegies would work just as well and either way it’s a budget meal.
