Sylvia Plath And Ted Hughes Breakfast Toast

1. 1

   Chop the potato into rough slivers, about 1/4 inch thick and precook, either salted and tossed with olive oil in a 400u00b0 F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or in boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes until tender.

2. 2

   While the potato is cooking, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove bacon and drain off most of the grease, leaving about 2 tbs grease and all of the crunchy brown bits in the pan.

3. 3

   Turn the heat to medium low, add the garlic, and stir until the raw edge is removed, about 1 minute. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally until it's wilted. Add cooked potatoes. Toss and season with paprika and salt and pepper to taste. Continue to fry on medium-low heat, 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture is beginning to brown. Set aside.

4. 4

   Toast the slices of sourdough bread.

5. 5

   While the bread is toasting, fry two eggs until cooked on both sides but runny in the middle. Season appropriately.

6. 6

   Assemble the toast, layering on the cabbage-potato mixture, then bacon, then fried egg.
