People who follow me on Twitter and/or Tumblr, I'm sorry.

People who don't, I'm sorry. 

(Please answer truthfully. I want to know just everything about you.)

TECHNICALLY

I am not abandoning this blog, but things are way more interesting over at Tumblr these days, and this is mine. Seriously, though, join and follow people, because there are some amazing conversations going on about gender and Libya and privilege and hipster mermaids and how much everybody wants James Franco and all sorts of revolutions and abstract concepts. Oh, and there's Coke Talk, and she's just the best thing.

Chilli and Sweet Potato Hash Browns.

Chilli and Sweet Potato Hash Browns

1 sweet potato

half an onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic

half a teaspoon of salt

one and a half teaspoons of paprika

dried chilli flakes to taste

an egg

Roughly grate the sweet potato onto a tea towel and squeeze it to get rid of excess liquid. Put the potato in a bowel and do the same with the finely chopped onion. And add the salt, chilli, paprika, and garlic (feel free to use a different amount of any of these), and stir. In a measuring jug, beat the egg, and add a little to the mixture, stirring, until it sticks together- you want to use about half of the beaten egg.  

Heat up a thick-bottomed frying pan and add a glug of oil. How you cook the hash browns is up to you: you can throw it all in and stir, or throw it all in and smooth it so that it forms a sort of cake, making sure to flip about half-way through. I tend to make small balls of the mixture and cook them in batches. But they're all good. They're incredible with bacon, and they'd do great with eggs. They're great: kind-of-healthy but still hash browns.

Fuck yeah.
