He Happy, She Happy, We Happy

The dilemma - we are grilling steaks.  We picked up beautiful bone-in ribeyes, the king of all steaks.  He wants lionized hash browns as a side.  She wants healthy sides. Ahhhhh!  How do we make everyone happy?

I took a stab at making a healthier version of this diner favorite.  It was fantastic.

This recipe calls for Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, one of my ultimate favorites. You can make your own spice mix; however, having a Tony's on hand is an easy, remarkable add in for: potato salad, macaroni salad, grilled shrimp fish and chicken, and deviled eggs.
