2 Servings

Ingredients

8 oz dried chipped beef
¼ lb butter
¼ lb flour
2 cups milk

2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced ¼” thick
Pinch of Herbes de Provence
2 tablespoon butter
1 potato, peeled and shredded
2 sprigs fresh chives, shaved
2 slices white toast, crust removed
Canola oil, as needed
Salt and pepper

3. Sauté potatoes in a hot pan with canola oil, 1 tablespoon of butter, and chives. Cook potatoes until crispy and light gold.

To Serve:

1. Arrange tomato slices, potato, and toast onto plate.
