I didn’t do a full grocery shop last week, so I was faced with running to the store last Thursday to pick up dinner. And believe it or not, I did NOT feel like cooking! So, into the frozen food section I went. I ended up getting Gordon’s fish fillets and a new kind of frozen potato product I hadn’t seen before.
It’s from McCain’s brand foods and they were called baby cakes, like miniature potato pancakes with a wonderful seasoning on them. I checked the label, 4 were only 170 calories, so into my cart it went. It was a super easy dinner, just throw everything in the oven.
My whole family loved the potato pancakes, so that got me to thinking about my breakfast the next day…
I cooked these in a skillet for about 5 minutes per side and set aside.
Meanwhile, I took 1 egg, 2 egg whites, 1 oz. of turkey deli meat and 1/2 oz. of cheddar cheese and scrambled that altogether until cooked.
Then I just started stacking the egg mixture between the potato pancakes.
This huge breakfast was 410 calories, it kept me full all morning!
Have you tried those potato pancakes before?
The pancakes look delicious! Love how you turned them into breakfast!
I had a coupon once for some OreIda ones like that. They were pretty good, but otherwise I think expensive for potatoes! I always tell myself “I could do this myself for much cheaper” but the extra work makes up for the cost!
Wow….I’ve never seen anything like that in these parts!! (I can SO relate to not wanting to cook some night so heading straight for the frozen section!)
Oh my god those are like the mcdonald’s hash browns, which I haven’t eaten in FOREVER but that I LOVE! I am SO buying those.
Looks delish! I’ll keep an eye out for those.
