I come from a family of eaters and have carried on the tradition even though I am a single mother. My daughter's favorite breakfast on Sunday is papas. She wakes up to the smells of love from Mom and all is right in her world.

Steps:
- I use the heaviest pan in my home. Cast iron works the best but the Dutch oven works, too.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Stir the bacon and sausage on medium heat until halfway cooked. Add the potatoes, onion, and garlic. Stir to combine and add the spices. Cook another 5 minutes and place pan or pot into the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir the papas once or twice to avoid any sticking and to get some yummy color. Warm up tortillas. Prepare eggs. Take papas out of oven and serve steaming hot with cheese, chile sauce, eggs, tortillas and giggles.
- In a large saute pan heat olive oil and add onions, garlic, chiles and salt. Saute until onions are translucent and chiles have begun to soften. Stir in soups and cook until it bubbles. In a blender or with an immersion blender, puree for 30 seconds.

YUCA CON MOJO
Yuca is among the most commonly eaten viandas - the local word for starchy fruits and vegetables, such as plantain and taro - in Puerto Rico. It is the root of the cassava, an extraordinarily resilient plant that was the principal food of the Indigenous Taínos of the island. Among its many preparations, this is my favorite: boiled yuca doused in a garlicky citrus mojo dressing, my grandmother's recipe. She never wrote it down, but my mother had it deep in her memory, and we cooked it together for this version you see here. The mojo will keep for several weeks in the fridge, and is also delicious on crispy fried tostones, roasted vegetables and fish.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Prepare the yuca: Fill a large bowl with water. Peel the yuca with a sharp peeler or paring knife, then chop it into 2-inch pieces, tossing them in the bowl of water as you go to avoid discoloration.
- Make the mojo: Bring olive oil to a simmer in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring well to incorporate. Cook until the onions are translucent and soft, stirring often and being careful not to let the onions brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add vinegar, and add salt to taste.
- Once water is at a rolling boil, add 1/4 cup salt, then carefully add yuca. Boil for 20 to 30 minutes, until a sharp knife goes through easily, careful not to let yuca overcook and become mushy.
- Drain yuca and transfer to a serving dish. Pour over warm mojo and serve.
MOJO PICON (GARLIC SAUCE)
This dish comes from the Canary Islands. It is a staple there, and goes with just about everything! Try it with "papas arrugadas" (small boiled potatoes with salt and lemon) for a Canary Island specialty! Delicious! It keeps well in the refrigerator, and is even better after a day or two. Serve at room temperature.

- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the potatoes: This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes well and let them steam dry for a few minutes before serving: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the potatoes with your favorite mojo sauce: Mojo sauce is a traditional Cuban sauce made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and orange juice.
