Tips;
-I like to prepare the potatoes and set them aside to dry first thing.
-Then prepare the hollandaise sauce second.
-I like to toast the english muffins in the same pan that I melted the butter in.
-Prepare the plates, and poach the eggs last so the yolks don't solidify or gel.
-You may need to replace the water/vinegar in between poaching batches.

-Swirl the water and crack an egg into the water.
-I poach three at a time, waiting a few seconds between adding each.
