Potato Leek Hash Browns:
1/2 cup thinly sliced leek stalks
4 tbl bacon fat
2-4 roasted garlic bulbs, minced
1 TBS thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 baking potato
Heat 1 TBS fat in skillet. Add leeks, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook until softened…about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.

To poach egg cook for 4 minutes in boiling salted water
Cook for 4-4 1/2 minutes.

Hollandaise:
3 egg yolks
1 TSP water
1/4 TSP sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
2 TSP freshly squeezed lime juice (half a small lime)
2 TBS BBQ seasoning
Pour 1-inch of water into a large saucepan; over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low.
Place egg yolks and 1 teaspoon water in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until mixture lightens in color, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sugar and whisk for another 30 seconds.
Place the mixture over the simmering water and whisk constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until there is a clear line that is drawn in the mixture when you pull your whisk through, or the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the bowl from over the pan and gradually add the butter, 1 piece at a time, and whisk until all of the butter is incorporated. Place the bowl back over the simmering water occasionally so that it will be warm enough to melt the butter. Add the bbq seasoning, and lime juice. Serve immediately.
