This hearty and slightly spicy bake features paprika, cinnamon, and cloves. Sometimes referred to as “moussaka,” — these potatoes are layered with beef, bell peppers, and simmered in half-and-half.

This is the perfect side dish to bacon, eggs, ham, and plate of fresh fruit at your next breakfast or brunch.
