I just love breakfasts. Ok, I’m lying. I just love brunch. Guys, because when it comes to lazy weekdays, I barely only wake up after breakfast time. Therefore, this recipe of Potato Rosti with Smoked Salmon and Boiled Egg is the perfect weekend brunch recipe, by far.
I think you can make the most delicious breakfasts right at home, sometimes it turns out better than actually going out for breakfast – and if you are able to make a good cup of coffee, even better. I’ll rather spend my time in the kitchen IN my pajamas making brunch for my people…
Just to let you guys know, I am not a big fan of smoked salmon. I prefer salmon to be straight up fresh and I might be a bit obsessed with sushi at the moment – I don’t think it’s a bad thing!
In this recipe the smoked salmon goes exceptionally well with a crispy potato rosti topped with a perfectly good boiled egg. Add a little sweet mustard sauce to the mix and your brunch is sorted.
One thing is for sure, potato rosti is an excellent versatile ‘ingredient’ that is perfect for a breakfast or a brunch. You can do the normal crispy bacon with caramelized onion here, topped with a poached egg. It surely takes breakfast to the next level.
