POTATO CAKES WITH FRIED EGGS AND TURKEY-RED PEPPER HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix the potatoes, egg, and milk together until combined. Add the flour, season with salt and pepper, and mix until smooth. Heat 2 teaspoons oil on a non-stick griddle over medium heat; pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the warm griddle, gently spread it to a circle about 4" wide, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the red pepper and cook until softened, about 4 minutes more. Add the turkey, gravy, and corn and cook, stirring, until turkey is heated through. Season hash with salt and pepper, stir in the parsley, and keep warm over low heat.
• Heat the remaining teaspoon of oil on the griddle over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs onto the griddle and cook until desired doneness. To serve, put a warm potato cake on each of 4 plates; top the cakes with a fried egg and divide the hash evenly among them.

KENTUCKY FRIED POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• NOTE: USE "IDAHO SPUDS" BRAND INSTANT MASHED POTATOES FOR BEST RESULTS (THEIR POTATOES HAVE A BETTER TEXTURE AND FRESHER FLAVOR). IF YOU PLAN ON USING ANY OTHER SEASONINGS IN PLACE OF Recipe #453973 -- USE SPARINGLY TO AVOID OVER-SALTING (TASTE THE DRY MIX UNTIL SEASONING IS WELL-BALANCED). FOR LARGER POTATO CAKES, PREPARE 4 PATTIES INSTEAD OF 6. THESE MAY BE SERVED WITH A SMALL DOLLOP OF LIGHT SOUR CREAM.
• INTO a medium mixing bowl, add the potato flakes, baking powder, chives, Recipe #453973, and onion powder; MIX until combined.
• POUR one cup water to a small microwave-safe bowl; ADD the butter and heat in a microwave oven until butter is completely melted, but water is not boiling.
• REMOVE water/butter mixture from microwave and stir in the sour cream.
• WHEN the sour cream is blended in, whisk in the beaten eggs until smooth.
• POUR the water/dairy mixture over the potato mixture in medium bowl.
• STIR mixture with a fork until just blended (do not over-stir!).
• ALLOW mixture to sit for 5 minutes; DIVIDE mixture into 6 equal portions; SHAPE into patties without over-handling or pressing (they don't have to look perfect).
• FRY in a little oil or butter over medium heat until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
• SERVE and enjoy!
