Notes: Work Time: 20 minutes; Total Time: 45 minutes. Traditional hash brown potatoes, the roadside diner staple, can certainly be reworked to become model healthy breakfast fare. Potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates and vitamin C. By enhancing their flavor, adding vegetables, and reducing fat, they become a whole new dish. Tamara's version has vibrant Southwestern ingredients to build flavor, and lots of green and red peppers to boost nutritional content. By using a nonstick pan, I can add much less fat.
