5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 large russets (about 1.5 lbs total), diced into 1/2-inch cubes, plus 1/2 yellow onion and 4 eggs (2 per person). Microwave the diced potatoes for 3 minutes first so they crisp faster in the pan. Cook in 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.

Wednesday

Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Use 4 slices bread (2 sandwiches), about 4 oz of the cheese wedge sliced thin, and 1 tablespoon butter for the pan. Halve about 1 lb of creamer potatoes and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast at 425F for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once. Start the potatoes first, then make the sandwiches in the last 10 minutes.

Check the label: many hard cheeses are set with animal rennet.
