Waffles and Hash (Chicken Hash with Cider Gravy)

February 26, 2012 by The Runaway Spoon 4 Comments

This is, I suppose, a treasured family recipe.  For my entire life, both my mother and my aunt often waxed poetic about the favored meal of their childhood.  Waffles and Hash.  We were regaled at family meals about the tradition of having Waffles and Hash for Sunday night dinner.  Any mention of family food traditions with these two always includes waffles and hash dinners.  … [Read more...] about Waffles and Hash (Chicken Hash with Cider Gravy)

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
