Hilo Bay Cafe and Duck Fat Potatoes

We went to dinner Friday night at Hilo Bay Cafe. You can hear all about it on our podcast. Seared ahi, cabbage, and duck fat potatoes from Hilo Bay Cafe The dinner inspired us to share our duck fat potato recipe with you. I get my duck fat by cooking a duck in the Instant Pot. The duck is usually roasted for crispy skin right after. I'll take the remains in the bottom of the Instant Pot and put the entire thing in the fridge. Once it is cold, you can scrape the fat off the top and save it in a jar. I keep it in the freezer to extend shelf life.

Eggs!

So we're going to focus on eggs today, but with sort of a brunch spin since we're probably still staying home, staying safe for a few more months. If you can't go to your favorite brunch spots, try some of our recipes to recreate brunch at home: Eggs Sardou and Shirred Eggs. We've thrown in a great midweek dinner option at the end too. Eggs Sardou and Hash browns Eggs Sardou Recipe (serving for four) The first place we ever had Eggs Sardou was Cafe Bon Temps in San Luis Obispo, California. The spicy creamed spinach really makes the dish. This meat-free dish, while delicious and decadent, lacks some crunch, so we recommend serving it with crispy hash browns. 2 tablespoon butter 2 tablespoon flour 1 1/4 cup warm milk 1 package frozen spinach, defrosted and strained 1 small jar of marinated artichoke hearts, chopped 4 eggs, sunnyside up 1 recipe yellow pepper hollandaise from Joy Bauer . You can make this with green bell pepper or you can use real hollandaise if you prefer...
