I rarely ever eat much during breakfast most days. Something quick, something light, just something to give me a little bit of energy to shake off the grogginess of the morning and get me going. Usually that’s a sweet bun, a yogurt, or a piece of fruit like a banana.
But sometimes, there are just some mornings where I’ve got this deep, gnawing pit in my stomach, that demands to be filled. It’s mornings like those when I head over to the cafeteria and order myself one of these:

Hash Browns, the guilty pleasure of my morning life and probably my favorite breakfast food of them all. Yes,yes I know what you’re going to say “Aleck, it’s a bunch of cut up potato pieces fried together!” Yes it’s probably dipped into a ton of oil. Yes, it’s probably nothing but carobs Yes, it will probably give me a heart-attack if eaten in sufficient quantities.
But boy is it good. The rich, crisp outer crust, combined with the savory, fluffy flakes inside just provide this beautiful contrast of textures and rich flavors. Nothing satisfies me more during a hungry morning then to have that warm, melting sensation wash right through my body.
Some people see fried grease shaped into a cube, I see my salvation for the day.

ahhhh the hashbrown, one of those things you don’t quite understand but it tastes sooo good. Seeing this pic made me want to put ketchup on the screen,lol. The hashbrown is truly one of those breakfasts on the go, right up there with the poptart.

I never go into the cafeteria, now that I know they have those I might! That looks amazing – there is definitely something tantalizing about fried potatoes. I don’t know if it’s the crunchy outside and then the smooth inside or what, but they are delicious.

Yes, all hail the harsh brown! It is quick and easy to prepare in the morning, a breakfast default. Great picture!

All health and no grease makes Jack a dull boy. Wait that’s not right.
