Breakfast Potatoes



Prepared by: Christine Sabatowski

For my potatoes I didnt use any measurements so if you make them you can just use how much you want and think.

I use Russet Potatoes. I washed and poked them with a fork and precooked them in the microwave till they were about 80% cooked. Once they were cool enough to handle I cut them into 1 inch pieces.
Then I get a pan hot with oil and butter, enough oil to cover the bottom on the pan and about 2 tablespoons of butter (or less if you want)
Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot add the potatoes and season them with any seasoning that you want. I use Italian seasoning and vegetable seasoning, Mix the potatoes so they are coated with the oil, butter and seasoning.
Cook until they are done and crispy. They will crisp up once most of the oil and butter is gone. Make sure that you stir the potatoes often to keep from burning the seasoning and the potatoes and that you get an even crisp.

Cranberry Orange Muffins



Prepared by: Emily Colon

2 Cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Grated Zest of 1 orange
1 large egg
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup strained fresh orange juice
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries, thawed

Preheat oven to 375F. Grease 10 standard muffin cups w/ butter.

In a bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt & zest. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, milk, and orange juice until blended. Add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until evenly moistened. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Using a large rubber spatula, fold in the cranberries just until evenly distributed, no more than a few strokes. Do not overmix.

Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling it level with the rim of the cup.

Bake until golden, dry, and springy to the touch, 20-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Unmold the muffins. Serve them warm or at room temperature, with butter.
