📝 A Tip for Perfect Breakfast Potatoes!
For this recipe, we're roasting our tomatoes, mushrooms and potatoes together. This could be problematic because all these ingredients tend to cook at different speeds. This is why it's important to slice your potatoes nice and small.
Try to keep them no bigger than 1cm cubes, otherwise they won't be golden and crispy by the time your tomatoes and mushrooms are done! Also, be sure to use a waxy variety of new potatoes, rather than floury ones, as they'll cook faster and hold their shape better.

🤷♀️ Weekend Tofu Scramble Bowls FAQs

Super easy, and tasty! Very filling and comforting! 5 stars from me, and my little one, which is a hard review to get from her! She said “thanks for making this mom! Yum!”
Mary
Super filling breakfast, and a lot quicker than expected to throw together! Added nutritional yeast and a few more spices to the tofu for extra flavor and a b12 boost, but this is definitely heading into the normal weekend rotation!
