Pancake Dinner
Sometimes you're just in the mood for breakfast when the day ends. We
prepare some pancakes and serve home
on the side (it's just not breakfast without home fries). We normally get
some help from our daughter, but she was too busy helping her little
brother finish the blueberries we intended to add to the
pancakes. Fortunately we kept the chocolate chips out of reach.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes (cooked and cold, chopped)
- 2 small onions (peeled, halved, sliced)
- 1 large pepper (chopped)
- 4 ounces mushrooms (quartered)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- oil
- salt & pepper
- paprika
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
Instructions
We begin by sauteeing the onions in a little oil in our dutch oven. We cook for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat, add some salt, and then add the red pepper. After a few more minutes, we add the mushrooms and cook until all the vegetables are tender. We add the garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika and set aside in a medium bowl while we cook the potatoes.
We usually fry the potatoes in small batches in 350 degree oil. We didn't want to bother here, so we sautee the potatoes in a small amount of oil until browned. We toss the browned potatoes with the sauteed vegetables and parsley. We re-season and serve!
