I'm particularly fond of an inexpensive brand in the frozen food aisle: http://www.oreida.com/varieties/hashbrowns.aspx I use the Potatoes O'Brien all the time. I'm sure ho-made diced potatoes might be better, but this works well. Scrambled eggs, cheese, fried sausage, chopped sweet onion, a few diced rocotos, fresh ground pepper, Kosher salt to taste and you have an excellent breakfast burrito. Wild rice, refried beans, cheese & you have a great start for a burrito mix. I buy Rosarita brand "Traditional Refried Beans" at the wholesale club in 8-packs. If I thought could do better from scratch would give it a try. Many of you here are great cooks... I'm not. jt ----- Original Message ----- From: David Anderson To: chile-heads@globalgarden.com Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 10:24 AM Subject: Re: [CH] Relleno filling - potatoes?

Is that a regional > style in Mexico? I think it is more of a poor people style than a regional style. It's like rice and beans, it is a cheap filler. On the rancho that I stay at down in Baja, I was surprised the first time I came across the diced potato in the rabbit tacos, but I quickly grew to love the flavor and texture. Now I add diced potato to me own taco and burrito fillings up here sometimes. Dave Anderson (the other one) -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
