Here's a fun dish that I can't take credit for - the original idea was by Ferran Adrai (of El Bulli) for a potato chip frittata. I read about it somewhere and it's been stuck in my head for ages.
And then there I was, in the kitchen looking for something to eat. The pickin's were slim so I decided on an egg. And then I remembered Adrai's dish. And then I remembered we had some chips in the pantry.
My choice was between a small amount of Pringles, or Scott's brand new bag of sour cream and onion. I do believe I chose wisely.
I whisked an egg with a bit of water and seasoned it with pepper. I chopped up one green onion and added it to the egg, along with about half a handful of lightly crushed Pringles. You want them fairly small, but not pulverized. Let everything sit in the bowl for 5 or 10 minutes so the chips soften (a thicker chip would need a couple of extra minutes and make sure there's lots of liquid), then scramble it up.
This was surprisingly great! The chips disappeared into the egg, leaving only the light taste of potatos behind. God, if you added an extra egg or two, and tossed in some chopped cooked bacon, you'd have a complete breakfast (eggs, bacon and potatos) all in one dish. How good would that be?
Definitely a fun dish to try, don't you think?
