Try it. A real surprise combination of pasta and potatoes. This Southwest breakfast favorite is an excellent casual dinner. Just substitute a glass of red wine for the cup of coffee. (Revised 9/29/2022)
Ingredients: One pound Russet potatoes, cut into 3/4 " chunks One cup or a little more dry small pasta. I like Mezzi Rigatoni, about 3.5 oz. One large red onion, chopped One medium green bell pepper, chopped One medium red bell pepper, chopped One Jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped fine, or chopped pickled hot jalapeno (optional) One teaspoon salt, fresh black pepper Four Tablespoons olive oil Four eggs Cilantro or parsley to garnish Directions: This is very much a no panic meal. You can take your time, It just needs to be heated right before the poached eggs go on. Saute/cook the onion, peppers, jalapeno, salt and pepper in the olive oil until the onion is transparent, about five to ten minutes. Cover, turn off the heat. *Simmer the potatoes in a small covered pot about 35 minutes in two cups of water. You want them soft enough to mash, but don't mash them. Cook the pasta. Coordinate the pasta and potato cooking time so you can just dump them both in a colander in the sink, drain them for a second, and add them to the onion pepper mixture. Poke, push and prod the mixture until the potatoes lose a little of themselves to the other ingredients. When you are ready to go, get the eggs poaching and reheat and remix the potato/pepper/pasta. Divide into two bowls, slide the eggs on, and sprinkle on a little cayenne and black pepper. Garnish with cilantro or parsley. *You can cook the potatoes and pasta in the same pot. Boil the potatoes in large pot with extra water for 20 minutes, then add the pasta and cook until done. Then drain and add as above.
