I think every Mediterranean country has its own version of potatoes for breakfast. My Dad, who was Italian, used to make us potatoes and eggs. My Mediterranean-inspired breakfast recipe combines potatoes with chickpeas and greens with plenty of warm, earthy Moroccan spices.
In America we usually eat eggs for breakfast, so I’m topping this dish with my favorite, an over-easy egg.
