Big Breakfast
Herbed hash browns! Cut potatoes, vegetable oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary & parsley. I put everything in large ziplock bag and shake. Then you can either bake them if you like crispy ones or pan fry them in cast iron which is what I did. Once cooked I like to throw some cut green onions on them.
Using the same pan, cook up some back bacon, regular bacon, ham and or sausages. Til browned and cooked.
Same pan again. Eggs your way! Hubby and I like sunny side up, which is what we had this morning. Accompanied by a side of beans which was cooked over the open fire in our Alberta backyard. Serve with your favorite toast.

Herbed Tortillas
3CUPS all-purpose flour
1TSP salt
1TSP baking powder
1/3CUP vegetable oil, shortening, or lard
1CUP hot water
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt & baking powder. Then add vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is coarse crumbs.
Pour in warm water and stir to combine. Knead with well-floured hands until the mixture comes together into a dough.
Transfer dough to a well floured work area. Divide into 16 roughly portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Cover flattened balls of dough with a clean kitchen towel, allow to rest for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour.
When ready to cook, warm your pan. I use my Nordicware nonstick grill or a cast iron frying pan.
Roll each dough ball into a circle about 6”. Try not to stack the rolled tortillas on top of one Another. As you see I fill my island lol.
Remove from the pan and stack cooked tortillas loosely wrapped in a clean kitchen towel. This will keep them soft. It may take a couple to get your pan to the temperature you want. If they become hard and not pliable, unfortunately you have cooked them too long.
These are awesome, they are so many uses. They freeze well.
Now for this recipe. I did some herbed ones. So when adding your flour, salt & baking soda. Add a half to a TSP of each spice you want to add. I used 1TSP oregano, 1TSP garlic powder, 1/2TSP onion powder.
