 Potato Rösti, Bacon & Egg stacks with Tomato relish

Every Saturday morning, without fail, I crave a good breakfast. And almost every Saturday morning, without fail, I kick myself for not being more prepared for this craving. I’m always left with only eggs and bread. No bacon or sausages in sight. Which means that we usually dress ourselves in lightning speed and set off to find good breakfast elsewhere. The only issue I have with that is that it seems the whole of Pretoria has the same idea and every good breakfast spot is packed to the rafters with chic-breakfast-eaters with dark glasses, iPhones and skinny jeans. Not exactly toddler-territory. So we settle on a mediocre (at best) fast food-ish type of place and I wash the plastic egg taste away with luke-warm milky cappucino. What a sad scenario.

So I’ve promised that this weekend will be different and so, I am planning on making my family this beautiful breakfast tomorrow morning. Crispy potato rösti stacked with bacon, fried eggs and topped with a deep red tomato and chilli relish. You could of course poach the eggs as well but I’ve found that poaching more than two eggs exhausts me so I prefer to just fry them and get it over with. I love how the yolk, once broken, oozes it’s way down the rösti and bacon, settling into all the little nooks and crannies. Delighful! Serve with fresh orange juice and weekend newspapers for the perfect start to a weekend.

    I’m the same, always forgetting to have any bacon around on the week end. Looks scrumptious.
