Hash Brown Cauliflower and Potatoes make a healthy breakfast any day of the week.
These days I’m really into shortcuts. Turning leftovers into a new meal has become very common around here. I’m still adjusting to cooking for a smaller family, and I hate throwing food away, so dinner becomes breakfast, or a snack in another form. You might have seen how I used a delicious Creole sauce to make both chicken and beans recently.
These Hash Brown Cauliflower and Potatoes are a perfect example of how I’ve been making new meals from leftovers. It takes just as long to make a small batch of Roasted Cauliflower and Potatoes as it does a large batch, so I’ve been making a full size recipe for our smaller family and repurposing them into breakfast hash.
Leftover corn on the cob, baked sweet potatoes or boiled potatoes would work great with this too. If you’ve got a spare red bell pepper, throw that in. The idea is to use up as many bits and pieces in the fridge as you can and add a variety of vegetables. Have fun!

I love turning leftovers into breakfast burritos, so turning roasted veggies into a hash is the next logical step! Sounds great!

As a potato and cauliflower lover, this hash brown with two eggs is like my dream weekend breakfast!!! Gosh it looks so good in the cast iron skillet. Love the char and flavor coming off from the skillet. Very smart leftover makeover!

I’m all about shortcuts too! Especially when they involve minimal cooking and minimal dishes to wash… I’m really loving cauliflower right now, and with how much my guy loves potatoes, this dish is a match made in heaven! 🙂 Pinned! (P.S. Hope your boys are doing well off at college!)
Jeanette says
I’m big into shortcuts these days. Boys are doing great! Thanks!
