Huevos Rancheros (Ranch Eggs) Lac du Nibiinaabe Style
When I was a teenager, my family lived in the foothills near Tucson, Arizona. I spent considerable time at my girlfriend's parents' small ranch. One benefit of spending time with my friend was the "very cool" kitchen overseen by a cook of Hispanic heritage.
In that kitchen, it was all about the food. The result was developing an insatiable appetite and lifelong hunger for Mexican food.
My adaptation of traditional Huevos Rancheros
Although the ranch cook and ranchers I've known might be disappointed with my leaving out the corn tortillas and chorizo sausage, this adaptation comes in at a close second.
Let me go on record that life doesn't get much better than when the runny yolk of a poached egg mixes with fried potatoes; the spicy Mexican flavors of the jalapeno, chili powder, spices, and prepared tomato salsa are genuinely delicious!

Kitchen Notes
The combination of fried potatoes, peppers, scallions, and spices reheats very well in the microwave and can be served quickly with other main courses.
Sometimes, we go wild with the amount fixed because they’re so darned good!
Footnotes:
[1] Vinegar helps to hold the egg whites together. Note: Do not add salt to the water as it dissolves the egg white.
