Breakfast Mashed Potato Quesadilla

🎉 Breakfast Mashed Potato Quesadilla 🥔🧀🌮

Searching for the perfect weekend brunch in the van? 🍳🚐 I love a hearty breakfast after a morning of exploring — it fuels us up without the need to cook again until dinner! 🍽️

And let me tell you — this one was a TOTAL hit. The hubs declared it the best thing I’ve made in the van so far — I couldn’t agree more! It turned out so delicious, I had to share. ✨

Here’s what you’ll need (for two medium-sized quesadillas / 2 servings):

• 1 large potato 🥔, peeled and cubed
• 2 tbsp chopped chives 🌿
• 1.5 tbsp butter (for the mashed potatoes & cooking the quesadillas & eggs) 🧈
• 1/4 cup sour cream (no judgment, folks) 😋
• Salt & pepper to taste 🧂
• 4 medium tortillas 🌮🌮
• 2 eggs 🍳
• Small handful of cilantro, roughly chopped 🌿🌿
• 1/3 cup queso fresco, crumbled 🧀
• 2-3 tbsp salsa verde 🌶️💚

Let’s put it all together!

1. Boil the potatoes until tender, then drain and pop them back in the pot. Add the sour cream, butter, chives, salt, and pepper — Smash the potatoes, I like mine a little lumpy. 🥔🥄
2. Heat up a skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and melt a little butter. Spread half the mashed potatoes onto two tortillas, top with the other two tortillas, and cook each quesadilla until golden brown on both sides. Keep warm under foil! 🔥🌮
3. For the eggs — I basted mine, but you can do what you like. Too baste them, when whites are just about set, drizzle a tiny splash of water around the eggs, cover, and cook for about 30 seconds until set. Season with salt and pepper. 🍳✨
4. Plate it up! Put a warm, crispy quesadilla on your plate, top with an egg, and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of salsa verde. Cue the flavor explosion! 😋🌟

Enjoy this easy, hearty brunch on the go (or at home) — packed with comfort, flavor, and just enough flair! Would you try this in your van or camper? Let me know! 🚐💖
