Oven Roasted Rosemary Home Fries {Matt’s Big Breakfast Copycat}

Matt’s Big Breakfast – Oven roasted potatoes combined with caramelized onions and savory rosemary makes for the perfect breakfast or brunch treat.

Last month, my immediate family embarked upon our very first family vacation EVER!! My hubby, Mommy, Daddy, and Auntee Gail and I all visited my brother and cousins in the Phoenix, AZ area. We absolutely loved the desert!! I’ll take 110 degree dry heat over 80 degree Michigan humidity any day!! One of the first places that we enjoyed breakfast was at Matt’s Big Breakfast!! We loved how everything served was humanely raised, grain fed and organic. Hubby and I enjoyed the The Chop and Chick with the delicious Rosemary Home Fries!!

Matt’s Big Breakfast Rosemary Home Fries were definitely on point. They were full of flavor and simply irresistible. I kept dreaming about them so much that I just had to recreate them. I love having potatoes for breakfast which I guess is attributed to that country girl spirit way deep down inside. 🙂 Matt’s Big Breakfast Rosemary Home Fries were prepared with caramelized onions and of course, savory rosemary. They were truly one of a kind and I hope you’ll give them a try!!

It was such a joyous time to be able to really enjoy the family while on vacation and Matt’s Big Breakfast was certainly a big highlight.  We all know that it’s important to create and foster those great relationships within our families. We all have our own personalities and individuality, right?!?!  If we examine ourselves, are we really getting to know them and trying to discover their needs as an individual? Or are we trying to figure out what’s in it for me???? It’s not always easy but it’s definitely necessary to put others needs before our own if we desire to truly grow our relationships within our families. Ultimately, true love is all about sacrifice, right???  I love the way the New Living Translation says that, it doesn’t demand it’s own way. – 1 Corinthians 13:5 (NLT).
