Home Fries

Pastrami

Method

Home Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Onions and Peppers

    Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and potatoes are crispy.

Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks together with lemon juice and salt until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

  3. 6

    Combine Butter and Egg Mixture

    Gradually add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Eggs and Muffins

  1. 7

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide them into the water. Poach for about 3 minutes for soft yolks or longer for firmer yolks.

  2. 8

    Toast the Muffins

    While the eggs are poaching, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 9

    Layer the Ingredients

    Place toasted English muffin halves on plates. Top each half with a slice of pastrami, followed by a poached egg.

  2. 10

    Add Hollandaise Sauce

    Drizzle the prepared hollandaise sauce over the eggs. Serve alongside crispy home fries.
