Hashbrowns and Apples

     This reminds me of the movie, "Cinderella Man." Braddack's stomach is growling and his manager brings him a bowl of hash right before he fights. After he wins he says, " I did this on hash, Joe. Imagine what I could do on steak." Hash is a dish of chopped meat with potatoes or a finely chopped mixture. That pretty much sums up what is in this meal.
     I know this sounds like a weird combination, but apples and hashbrowns are really good together. I think it's because of the sweet and savory mixture. Add in some ham and eggs and it's really the perfect meal. Well, it's perfect for me because I could eat breakfast any time of day.
     The pictured meal is with my first ever attempt at a fried egg. It's not pretty. The last time I made this I made up a batch of scrambled eggs and put those on top. Either way, it tasted good. Make your eggs the way you like them.
