Breakfast for dinner

Tonight I asked Ryan and Riley what they wanted for dinner, I was ready to make anything! They replied "pancakes and eggs! pancakes and eggs!" okay! So, in addition to my world famous pancakes and farm fresh eggs, I also made the pioneer woman's 'breakfast potatoes'...

man they are awesome! She makes them using lard, but since Riley and I are vegetarians and I am the primary cook, lard doesn't fly in my kitchen. :P Instead I used some extra veggie oil. Also, the recipe she provides on her website is slightly different from the one in her cook book, I followed the one in the book and baked the potatoes at 375F for 40minutes before I cut them up and all that. Anyway, check them out, they are awesome! Now I leave you with my fancy pancakes! Happy cooking!! -Jess

*baker's note: the batter for these pancakes can be prepared and refrigerated for a day or two, or if you have left over batter you can also store it in the fridge for a few days.
