Not yet world famous Asparagus hash

Consider yourself lucky, this is the best side dish ever.   I was going to give you a whole meal with them but honestly the other stuff didn't come out the way I wanted and I'm not gonna put down mediocre dishes, not gonna happen, that's how you loose Top Chef.  Anywho, how was your Thanksgiving? Good, sweet, how many of you are having stuffing scrambled eggs for breakfast? NO, well you should, step one, stuffing and eggs in pan, step 2...Step 3, profit, end moving on.

ASPARAGUS HASH AWSOMENESS HAPPENING IN YOUR MOUTH:
Equipment:
CheeZe grater or food processor
Small Frying pan
Spatula

Ingredients:
15 Asparagusesssss
Half a Russet Potato
1 Sweet Onion (optional, you need a knife and a small cutting board if thats the case)
Tablespoon of coconut oil
Salt

So here's the deal, this is actually pretty healthy as long as you're easy on the salt.  Half a potato between 2 people isn't going to break your diet.  The reason it's in there is because asparagus when shredded still behaves like vegetables, it will get smaller, and it won't fill you up.  I will add onions usually but the basics of the dish is just asparagus and potato.  The nice thing is it all cooks at the same time so you add all the ingredients together.

CheeZe grater/Food Processor:
-Shred the asparagus from it's side one at a time, if its a food processor make sure it shreds it not chops it into pieces
-Do the same with the potato, skin and all

If using onions:
-cut into 1 inch strips, add them in with the rest of the ingredients, this adds a little sweetness 

Frying pan:
-Add your coconut oil, if its in gel form let it melt all the way over medium high heat
-Add your shredded ingredients, spread out evenly over the pan 
-Add a pinch of salt
-Let it sit for about 3 minutes then stir it up, repeat for about 10-15 minutes
-Once the potatoes are cooked all the way Tip #2 (add more salt if you think you need it) really flatten it, let it fry and get a bit brown
-Flip it, brown the other side, serve

If you really want to dehealthify it, use olive oil and before you flatten and brown at the end, add cheeZe to the middle of the mix

Hows that sound? Delicious, it is so eat it, tell me what you think, more recipes to come, very soon, like tomorrow.
