The Breakfast I Ate (almost) Every Day for 10 Years

[@shitbutt_esq]

This is a fantastic recipe, but I'd like to call out you saying that this recipe isn't "revolutionary". That's one of the main reasons this recipe is so good. As a cooking novice, a lot of instructional cooking content out there is aimed at (im guessing here) intermediate+ cooks, mostly because I figure the more difficult recipes look more impressive and thus get more clicks. The hardest thing for me when it comes to cooking is dealing with the "trial period" of a new recipe, and the more universal the ingredients, the less painful this part is. Every ingredient used in this video is a kitchen staple, and the principle you espouse of Potatoes Meat Eggs is a good way to call back to the fundamentals of *why* this dish works in the first place. It's a rare example of content that bridges the gap between the abstract fundamentals and a recipe tutorial. Other things you do well: - You take the time to introduce each ingredient and show the full prep process, even for something as simple as a potato. - Just showing us the nutritional label on the container (I'm not sure why I appreciate it being part of the shot like that but it's nice, maybe it feels more "real") - Not trying to oversimplify what you're doing, I appreciated that you didn't at any point say "just make scrambled eggs with your meat and veg" even if that is what you're doing - Using the simplest available tool (not sure if you did this on purpose or just #budgetlife) - Not including unnecessary measurements for seasoning etc. You do show how much you're putting in which is good, measuring seasoning isn't bad or anything but it is very much a "feel" thing, and the only way to develop the feel is to try.

[@ethanpaff]

I was just talking with a friend about my frustration with food KZbinrs totally missing the mark of bringing down to earth - and making tangible - recipes that are too often only presented in an abstract and aesthetically appealing way. It gets clicks to show crazy food creations, sure, but my aim isn’t to impress. I don’t even have a culinary background or the education for one that would support a professional image. Instead, my hope is that I build an image around making good, wholesome and healthy food accessible to any and everyone. I hope to keep providing content that achieves what you described well here, bridging that gap between abstract and actionable. And I appreciate how thorough your review is and will most definitely consider your points in the production and editing of my many videos to come. Btw, I hope you stick around. I think you’ll like my next video for these same reasons. Much love. ✌️

@@ethanpaff honestly I think you're doing a great job, I didn't mean to come off as critical, just appreciated all the small details that came together here. If anything I hope other food youtubers pick up on how you pace your videos. It's one of those things where you see something that just hits all the right notes for what it should be. (feels kind of hyperbolic to say that about a recipe video but that is how it is). Looking forward to your next video! I don't write comments much but you can be sure that I'll be watching.

@@shitbutt_esq It’s very encouraging to hear, and it’s especially so knowing that you’d take the time to write your thoughts out so carefully and articulately. I don’t feel it’s very critical at all, in fact. While I don’t feel like my videos are as well polished as your description makes them seem, I do feel like I’m getting better, and your words are incredibly reassuring. You’ve given me even more reason/justification to keep going. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. ✌️

Honestly you said this in such a perfect way I can’t think of a single word I would replace, because it is EXACTLY how I feel about food videos. I am a complete novice and I want ideas that are extremely easy to both understand and make. This video is a prime example of something I’m looking for when I come to find things to make in the kitchen because I need it to be both simple and easy which this video did perfectly. Cheers to you for this comment and to the channel for the video

There! Somebody finally said it...YES!!! seasoning is a FEEL thing! 👏🏽💯💫😋❤️

[@avacadomangobanana2588]

Something this is also underrated for is how you can expand it, meat eggs potatoes. Throw in some chorizo and a tortilla you have a breakfast burrito. If you swap out rice for the Tate’s you can throw on soy sauce and make a Japanese style thing with spam or fish. Throw it in a pita role with chickpeas and Tika misala tatziki or tahini. I get bored with food and stop eating all together. This can fix that for you

[@ethanpaff]

Absolutely. This is a basic “recipe” and is meant to be used as a base for good nutrition. Do what you want with it! I sometimes sub out the potatoes for one of my tortillas and meal prep a week’s worth of breakfast burritos. Sometimes I change up the spices and the meat I use and top the whole thing with homemade kimchi. The possibilities are truly endless. ✌️

I don’t like to be that guy, but dietary cholesterol actually does affect serum cholesterol, just less than other factors like saturated fat, obesity and eating processed food. I’m not denying everything he said in the video, our liver does have the ability to regulate serum cholesterol to a certain degree, but this doesn’t mean you should eat all the cholesterol you want as some influencers would like you to believe. I don’t blame him for believing in what he said in the video either, many influencers are pushing the idea that dietary cholesterol isn’t harmful in any way due to misinterpreting scientific data, the one study that doesn’t show correlation between cholesterol consumption and serum cholesterol is really bad quality, one where they didn’t have a control group and didn’t know the baseline consumption of cholesterol to compare it later when dietary cholesterol was increased in the participants diet, hence not knowing what even was the increase in dietary cholesterol consumption. On the majority of studies there’s a clear correlation that dietary cholesterol increases serum cholesterol, and this effect is increased when the baseline consumption is 0mg and is less and less noticeable when the baseline consumption is higher. If you want to look this up search for Dietary cholesterol effects on serum cholesterol on pubmed, it’s worth knowing

I've been eating the same thing for breakfast for at least 2 years now and some people find it strange but I don't. It is almost a comfort because it doesn't change. I eat an egg sandwich, sometimes with bacon but usually not. I don't like to add cheese directly into my eggs so I add it to the sandwich. Again, it's comforting and I don't get near as hungry as eating something else. Thank you for the video!

My breakfast is normally a giant baby spinach salad with homemade salad dressing EVO as the base. I’ll throw in eggs sometimes bacon. You’re supposed to eat 5 cups of salad a day, more if you’re a bigger person. It is a huge amount 7-10oz worth. For me it makes me energized while not feeling full and bloated down.

Great vid, you think like I do the way you explain! So I've been developing a weight loss 10 year breakfast. 2 hard boiled eggs, cup of yogurt, handful berries. Then EITHER oatmeal with spoon on peanut butter OR Avocado toast (recommend frozen avocado chunks, way less prep) Love to get your thoughts.

[@ethanpaff]

I think that if the macros are right and that it’s an enjoyable meal to have on a consistent basis without being too expensive, then it could be a winner. I’ve tried breakfasts like the one you describe and unfortunately the ones I’ve made have felt too busy. Just too many things going on and too many aspects of the dish to keep track of to be practical. Again, though, if you can find a way to make the process of creating the meal more streamlined (like bulk prepping the eggs and having ample supply of frozen avocado), it could work. Thoughts? ✌️

[@frederickayer3602]

Well the yogurt eggs and berries are all grab and go, so the decision that allows for 1 simple choice is oatmeal or avocado toast. I use a keruig for instant hot water to make super quick oatmeal, throw it in the microwave for only 60 sec and add spoon of pb Toast in, then Food processor for frozen avocados, lemon juice salt and pepper, spread ready for toast

I would like to make a recommendation if I may: When it comes to this magnificent source of life, also known as potato, you should aim for a type with yellow flesh.

[@thomsencummings8471]

re:wondering if parsley does anything for flavor, try putting some dried parsley in some hot water and giving it a good sniff. those volatile flavor compounds that are released are what's going into your food, and while they may be earthy and or even overbearing in isolate, it brings that earthiness to the dish, and can help round out an otherwise thin tasting base

[@joew8438]

I do something similar. I cook it as a frittata in a very large pan, then slice it into 16 slices. A meal is usually 2 slices, sometimes just 1 for a sandwich or taco. The base is about 10 large eggs, 2 large diced potatoes, about 1 large diced onion. Then I usually add a generous amount of mushroom, kale and either salsa or marina for flavor and nutrition. I eat it just about every morning on a sandwich, taco or burrito. Taco is the cheapest since corn tortillas cost about 3 cents each. I don't add any meat or cheese to the frittata, because I found those flavors tend to disappear into it. It's better to add small amounts of meat or cheese as a topping when serving to maximize flavor and minimize cost.

[@solonanderson7019]

If you mix your eggs in a quart container by shaking them like a cocktail shaker it is so much faster and more consistent

[@x0Vinny0x]

It may sound odd, but curry powder and celery salt is very good! That or any Mrs dash with some salt.

[@ethanpaff]

Doesn’t sound odd at all! That’s a fantastic combination!

10 yr meal: brine, grilled chicken, chopped red bell peppers, rice and beans. Freeze 1.5 c portions. When going to work put salsa, cabbage, feta in larger dish… defrost rice and chicken mixture, add to salsa cabbage mixture, microwave 30 seconds …. Omgggggg so cheap, so healthy, so satisfying, so easy

Thank you for this recipe. This is now one of my regular breakfast dishes and I've changed it up here and there time to time. I'm working through all your videos and every single one so far are just awesome. You use ingredients like a "lazy" cook. I mean that kindly because I am also a lazy cook. I want fast, tasty and easy cleanup. On top of that you do it in such a way where it's possible to meal prep for the week too. Plus, the ingredients can change time to time! So I love this format. Like here is the base, and the rest is interchangeable. Cilantro? Sure. Different spices? Hell yeah! Different meat? Totally! Personally I make a smaller serving than you (2 eggs, 1 potato) and do it on the day I make it, but the option to meal prep is there and I love that because I know I can store these if I can't finish it. Even my smaller serving is too much for me in one sitting! Haha Thank you for sharing your recipes 💚

It’s so awesome to get this feedback. It fills me with joy, because how you’re receiving my content-how it’s helping you-is exactly what I’ve set out to do. I’ve got an INVENTORY of ideas and years of experience cooking this way for myself, so you can expect much more to come. Next video by this weekend. Then hopefully a more consistent release schedule (1/week, ideally) thereafter. Keep enjoying food and making it your own! I’m honored to help ☺️ ✌️

Oh man, this is a nice variant of the Hungarian dish called Rakott Krumpli, my favourite food.

[@I_Might_B_Wrong]

Russet potatoes also have like 98% of the nutrients of sweet potatoes which get a much better reputation for health compared to other potatoes. Great for potassium for example.

[@segaswirl3007]

Potatoes with skin, eggs and meat... Count me in, loved the recipe and the concept of course!

[@shanesantoso3434]

how long it last in the fridge / freezer?

[@noodlepair.]

Good ideas. Thank you. Also try it by replacing the green vegetables with zucchini, spinach, bell peppers or mushrooms. Or mix all together. Also try at least once since you eat healthy. Fry fresh tortilla chips with olive oil, remove most of the oil, on the same pan with chips add eggs. Once on your plate add ketchup. So good. You can also substitute meat with winnie. So good.

[@ethanpaff]

Sounds fire. What’s “winnie”?

[@noodlepair.]

@@ethanpaff winnie is meat for hot dogs.

[@itsROMPERS...]

I make the same breakfast too, although not so much carbs. I love them, but I have diabetes. One thing you should try: cook your meat in a little oil and throw cooked potatoes in too. The greater heat you can get (cooking in water holds the temp at 212f) allows A reaction called "Maiilard" which creates sugar and umami flavors like when you grill a steak. So throw your bacon in dry with a little oil, let it brown and then put in water if you like. You'll get a lot of extra flavor.

[@ethanpaff]

That definitely helps with the flavor usually. I do that with other meats but that turkey bacon was kinda slimy

[@BarryDylan111]

That does look pretty good. I already got a 10 year dinner and lunch might as well include a 10 year breakfast lmao

[@programmingaccount9563]

I’ve been OMAD for most my life but have been eating the same dish pretty much everyday. The simplicity of it makes sticking with dietary goals unbelievably easy. Tortilla Spinach Eggs/egg whites Kidney beans Bell peppers/any veggie it varies Small Greek yogurt with a few blue berries Honestly probably not even healthy tbh but I feel great. But it’s either this or I cave to fast food or something if I don’t have it. So that helps with the health aspect significantly The way to keep myself from getting bored is changing up seasonings/hot sauces

[@ethanpaff]

I don’t even want to try fitting 2500 calories into one meal, so kudos to you! But, yeah, I find that the simpler the diet, the easier it is to stick to it. Sounds like a tasty meal. ✌️

[@tradesmith_yt]

Change it to Oaxaca cheese add corn tortillas and boom breakfast tacos all week! I do chorizo or ham, potatoes matchstick cut with the mandolin, jalapeño, bell pepper, egg. 20 minutes and a weeks worth of snacks. I cook new eggs each day

[@jaredshuttleworth3763]

I love this video well done! Definitely going to try it out this weekend haha

[@MrTindall]

Well you got a view and engagement. The algorithm thought that based off all the cooking videos and meal preps I've watched lately, I would like your content It was wrong.

[@AFA_Kitchen]

Wow looks absolutely delicious and tempting 😍

[@ethanpaff]

Thank you!

[@jamesj9744]

Eating the same breakfast every day makes my life easier. Mine is one Omega-3 egg, two pieces of thin bacon, 1 smallish air-fried potato, 1/2 cup of berries. One home-brewed iced coffee w/high quality organic mil and one spoon of sugar. One orange or apple if I'm extra hungry or a small pastry on Saturday.

[@bones_bn]

I like this idea for dinner!

[@yourblurryeyes8137]

This looks great!!! What kind of meat can i use for this dish? Looks like bacon or jam

[@ethanpaff]

Thank you! Bacon, ham, sausage, whatever you’d like!

[@raphaelmolliere1642]

Actually i think it could be an amazing meal recipe for lunch or dinner i will try ut tomorrow. Otherwise really good video : the way you present the recipe show clearly that it has been 10 years you prep it 😂👍🏻

[@williamwagner2200]

4 THOUSAND times you've eaten that meal. That's amazing.

[@ethanpaff]

😂

[@ajaxtelamonian5134]

I mean i basically make some form of hashbrown omelette for mine most mornings. Cant stand boring breakfast. I usually put either sriracha or ghost pepper sauce on there.

[@Adclif]

Another thing that you may not be accounting for is that reheating potatoes turns more of the starch into resistant starch (aka much harder to digest) so while you get less calories from it, they're even more satiating.

[@ethanpaff]

I actually just learned of that yesterday! Neat stuff. And no wonder it’s so satiating. ✌️

[@beeutiaddict]

i subscribed and liked. i hope your channel blows up so you can have the turkey bacon everyday

[@samoansojah3886]

Definitely can tell He’s been doing it for ten years this meal should be called after your name 😂

[@jacobtb1]

so simple, can't beat this

[@ethanpaff]

❤️

[@jazminleiva8064]

hey man love your recipes so far and looking forward to your content! u have an awesome channel so far :)

[@ethanpaff]

Thank you very much, Jazmin! ✌️

[@jareerareerarr5053]

Kinda interesting the traditional breakfast in England where I live is a fry up. Including eggs, sausages hashbrowns and mushrooms, and toast. Our version is kind of unhealthier though because everything is fried. But tbh noone eats it everyday Your breakfast looks so good btw
