A Potato Recipe for Vegetarians Using Hash Browns

Here is a potato recipe for a delicious, easy, vegan meal. I prepared it for breakfast on a morning when I was yearning for something substantial, not just fruit or toast. It hit the spot!

It’s helpful to have this kind of healthy, hearty recipe in reserve, ready to quickly prepare, especially when you’re a novice vegetarian or vegan, because it’s all too easy and tempting to stop at a fast food restaurant and buy an egg-filled, cheese-smothered, greasy, unhealthy breakfast sandwich.

This recipe doesn’t have to be just for a breakfast meal, though. You could also serve it for a quick dinner or an easy lunch, with a green salad.

Adjust the ingredients, depending upon how hungry you are or how many people you’re serving. This recipe is very forgiving, flexible, and produces one good-sized, satisfying burrito.

Breakfast Burrito

• Frozen hash brown potatoes, about 2 cups. I used Cascadian Farm (just organic potatoes with nothing added)
• Extra virgin olive oil, small amount (about 1 teaspoon)
• Gimme Lean (sausage style), 1/3-1/4 cup, crumbled
• Onions, diced, about 1/4 cup
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Whole wheat tortilla
• Dairy-free vegan cheese, grated
• Salsa or ketchup

Sautee onions and hash browns until they begin to brown. Stir often to keep from sticking too much. Add the crumbled veggie sausage and continue stirring until everything is cooked through and nicely browned. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the potato/onion/sausage mixture on a tortilla, sprinkle on grated cheese and roll it up. Serve with salsa or ketchup. Try to eat it slowly.
