Working from home has its perks; no traveling, no waiting for bus, no fighting with auto rickshaw drivers and no pushing yourself through the nudging elbows and sweaty armpits in a crowded local. Another good part is cooking whenever and whatever you like, trying out new recipes which you hardly get time for. Anyway, I think that the grass is always greener on the other side. I am perfectly happy with my job and enjoy these one off working-from-home days.
Today was one of those days when I stayed home, woke up late and made a nice brunch. Result was two very happy and well fed human beings. For eggs on a bed of chili garlic potatoes, I got inspired from this recipe on www.foodnetwork.com. The original recipe had zucchini which I replaced with potatoes. I used McCain's chili garlic potato bites for this recipe but you can make it with diced potatoes, garlic and chili flakes.
