Turmeric adds warmth and colour to these wholesome pancakes.

The golden colour of this potato pancake is gorgeous, with the fried potato, eggs, and turmeric adding to the flavour. A nonstick pan is an idea; otherwise, line the base of your frying pan with baking paper before adding the eggs so the pancake will flip out quickly.

SPICED POTATO PANCAKE

Serves 4

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 cup garlic chives, chopped

1 medium potato, grated

1 medium kumara, grated

½ tsp turmeric

2 cup shredded cabbage

5 eggs

½ tsp salt and pepper

To serve, optional

1 avocado, sliced

½ lemon, squeezed

Roasted cherry tomatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
  2. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the chives and cook for 5 minutes to soften. Add the potato and kumara and cook slowly to soften for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add the turmeric and cabbage and stir until well combined, continuing to cook until the cabbage has wilted.
  4. Whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and stir through. Place it into the oven for 15 minutes until set in the middle. Remove and tip onto a plate.
  5. Cut into wedges and add your favourite topping.

From breakfast tacos to amplified brioche.

Croque Madame. Melty Gruyère cheese, Dijon mustard and ham combine for a lush breakfast sandwich — excellent in the streets of Paris, or tucked up in bed.

Breakfast tacos with scrambled eggs and avocado. Spicy black beans bulk out these easy, quick morning tacos.

Smoked kahawai mishmash. Al Brown shares this dish, which melds creamy potato with smoky fish, heapings of herbs and a good squeeze of lemon.

Brioche and poached rhubarb with lime curd. Start the day right with a dessert-inspired breakfast. The citrus in the recipe could also be swapped to suit your local neighbourhood trees.

Simple parsnip rostis. Swap out potato for parsnips for these morning rostis and enjoy a punchier flavour.
