Sometimes if I'm too tired to cook, and lucky enough to have a few ingredients in the fridge I just make a quick, but warm and cozy meal. You probably have times when you don't want to cook or you're too tired. Instead of getting fast food, (which I am guilty of getting when I really should eat better and I don't mean the healthy fast food: salads, chicken breast, etc. I mean, I need to up my blood sugar and right now kind of fast food! ) I will look for the basics: egg, cheese, veg, and put something together quickly. Because of that simplicity, I wasn't even going to make this into a post, but here it is...
Starting at the bottom: Leftover mashed potatoes made into a Potato Cake, with a slice of Provolone Cheese, topped with a Fried Egg and a little Parsley to pretty up for the photo. My faithful and ever present tall Tea mug with scenes of London goes with the meal. I can tolerate a little cheese and often go meatless, so this is filling, hot, and hearty and also quick to make. I want this. Now.

That's pure comfort food to me. We'll often make an omelet & throw in whatever is left over. We get what amounts to fast food only once a week or so when we are out food shopping.
Looks delicious! Sue x
I have to learn how to make Potato cakes because typically I throw out my leftover mashed potatoes and I would love what you just made above. It looks good and sounds so easy!
This looks very yummy! Something I could eat everyday ;o)
Well, this is not an authentic potato cake made from grating potatoes, draining the moisture, and all the rest... This is from leftover mashed. I think of real potato cakes as Latke sp? sometimes served w/sour cream or applesauce, those are really good, too.
Glas you all liked this, I had to post it after using Picnik to make the photo over. That yellow yoke hit the spot.
