VAL'S FANCY HOLIDAY HASHBROWNS Recipe; Coalinga-CA

Manly Christmas Brunch; Coalinga-CA

I cooked a special holiday breakfast brunch (I'd planned months ahead) for my husband 😎 - spoiling him a little 😘; not enough to make him rotten 😂🤣, but enough to let him know he's appreciated 🤗

Breakfast brunch consisted of fancy Hashbrowns (my own concoction - recipe follows), canned beef hash, fried eggs, bacon strips, & toast. We've been eating light … so, this really was a special treat 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨
