Brunch For Mom

Eggs Benedict is a classic, there's no denying that, but "classic" is perhaps not the word I'd use to celebrate my funny, youthful, and adventurous mother! For Mother's Day, her poached eggs will sit atop crisp potato pancakes, under a blanket of creamy Orange Tarragon hollandaise sauce. The sweetness of the orange peel plays against the anise notes of the tarragon in this classic French combination, made whole with shallots and Tellicherry black pepper. The sauce is so sumptuous, and the crunchy fried potatoes make a perfect vehicle for it. Not to mention the eggs - nothing says "love" like a perfectly poached yolk, don't you know! Make these for Mother's Day, or just because - and let her know how sorry you are for your teenage years.
