With Valentine's Day a mere two weeks away, I've been making lots of
heart-y crafts with my kids. So it seemed only natural that I would want to make
hearty-y food, too.
Here are easy directions for making
insane adorable Heart Shaped Fried Potatoes.
1. Go to Pinterest and look at all the
insane adorable foods people have
carved,
kabobed and
baked in the shape of hearts and decide you too must do that.
2. Choose to make something with potatoes since you do not have any of the ingredients needed for the other
insane adorable ideas, and are too damn lazy to go to the store to get them.
3. Find this amazing recipe for
Roasted Potato Hearts and decide to make them for family breakfast.
4. Realize the recipe has too many steps and is way too difficult for someone who only has one
iCarly (i.e., 22 minutes) to make the
insane adorable heart potatoes and the rest of breakfast.
5. Decide to improvise own almost-as-good heart potato recipe by slicing two potatoes semi-thinly, and then using a cookie cutter to cut out
insane adorable hearts from the potatoes.
6. Realize cutting out
insane adorable hearts from the potatoes is taking forever (which is way longer than one
iCarly episode) and switch to a larger heart shaped cookie cutter.
7. Cut out one
insane adorable larger heart potato.
8. Accept that even with this major improvement to the
insane adorable heart-cutting out process, it is still going to take longer than you are willing to spend cutting out
insane adorable heart potatoes. Especially when you are but one mother with seven remaining minutes, and who still has to make the rest of breakfast.
9. Heat oil in a heavy skillet, and fry the pan-full of
insane adorable potato hearts you have managed to cut-out in the preceding fifteen minutes of your life that you are
never going to get back.
10. Flip the potato hearts, and serve on platter alongside other regular non-heart breakfast foods.
11. Listen to the kids happily exclaim that there are
hearts for breakfast! and decide it really wasn't so much work after all.
12. Vow to make even more and better
insane adorable heart food next time!

I've also put all the photos together here, because the other recipes on Pinterest look like this, and I so want to fit-in.
