Jalapeño Fingers

That moment you realize your nail polish matches the jalapeños in your recipe!

​Matching aside, this was an experiment in baking hashbrowns without cooking oil. I found this recipe on a random vegan cooking blog, and it intrigued me. It was also sans flour or any binding ingredients in the mix. Could that work??  In my opinion no, but plant based Vegan cooking teaches us we don't need 1/2 the ingredients we dump in most recipes, so I thought I would give it a go...

I added the jalapeños along with onions to chopped and seasoned potatoes.
​I  followed the recipes...

But it was not a winner. 
Sadly, that happens sometimes. It could be I missed a step (I didn't. I double-checked, and I even drained the cut potatoes in cheesecloth before baking.) Or it could be the altitude, I do live in the mountains, or it could be any number of things. 

Does this ever happen to you? You try a  new recipe, and it's not a winner? We ate them, but... I won't use this recipe again. 

Okay. I'm off to match my nail polish to the next recipes!
​Just kidding...
​And because someone will ask...

This is the nail polish, it is in the OPI shade: My Gecko Does Tricks #4364011 I've had it several years and don't wear it much and never realized it was so close to the shade of jalapeños! 

Catch you later- ​
