Hot delicious mess
04/11/2010 2 Comments
Before we get started, know this – the idea came from a damn good friend of mine, Jacob, and was prepared at 1 am while doing shots – so my measurements are most definitely off a bit.
Still, for something this haphazard, that shouldn’t matter. We grabbed the random shit floating around my apt, combined it with a few things he’d brought, and before our bleary eyes realized it we’d made a masterpiece.
The Pieces
Prep Time:10 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins – 1 hour
- 1 16 oz can whole tomatoes, seeded (save a bit of juice)
- Most of a 16 oz bag of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 a stick of salted butter
- 3 yukon gold potatoes, cubed
- 1 bigass sweet potato, cubed
- 1 large brown onion, diced
- 1 12 oz can of sweet peas, drained
- 4 eggs, beaten
- paprika
- cayenne
- fresh cracked black pepper
- some oregano (i think?)
The Puzzle
0. Preheat oven to 375
1. Chop time: dice your peeled potatoes and onion.
2. Throw the onion into a glass casserole dish on high heat, and sweat until barely translucent. Remove the pan from the heat, and take the onions out (adding them in later)
3. Put your diced potatoes in the pan with the onion oil, and get that in the oven for 15 minutes
4. Take 3-4 shots of cheap whiskey
5. Drain and seed your tomatoes. Roughly chop and add to the potatoes after the 15 mins is up.
6. Add your reserve tomato juice and peas, and let cook for approx 45 minutes or until the potatoes are just barely fork tender
7. Mix beaten eggs with some cheese and the remaining spice you feel like adding- at least pepper and cayenee.
8. Pour this over the top and mix into the casserole dish
9. Copiously cover with cheese
10. Cook until nicely browned on top
11. Bask in your friends adoration at your pure fucking awesome skill
