Heat up a little grape seed or olive oil in a frying pan, add the grated potatoes, flatten in the pan, and fry until brown. Then flip.</p> <p>The perfect over easy eggs (Dad’s Trick):</p> <p>Fry eggs in a non-stick pan (or add a little butter). When the whites are no longer translucent, but the yoke is still very runny, add a tablespoon of water and cover (about 30 secs or so) and voila! The perfect eggs! Not slimy, but still has that great creamy center.  </p> <p>Fry up a little bacon, add some toast, butter and jam, and you have the perfect brunch!</p> <p>Side note:  Add a little extra something to those eggs by frying them after the bacon in the same pan. :)</p>http://thecaptaincupcakechronicles.tumblr.com/post/33099428749http://thecaptaincupcakechronicles.tumblr.com/post/33099428749Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:38:00 -0400thecaptaincupcakechronicles<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb8u8skuj01qa5jmio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Minced Meat Pizza!! #thecaptaincupcakechronicles (Taken with <a href="http://instagram.com">Instagram</a>)</p> <p>Recipe: 1 spring onion diced and mixed with 1 clove of garlic, sauteed in olive oil in a frying pan for 2-3 min.
