Equipment

- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
For the Hash Browns:
- 3 medium potatoes peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
For the Fried Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Hash Browns
- Peel and grate the potatoes into a bowl of cold water. Soak for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out all excess water using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine grated potatoes, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Cook the Hash Browns
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potato mixture in an even layer, pressing it down slightly.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Fry the Eggs
- In a separate skillet, melt butter over low heat. Crack eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook to your preferred doneness, sunny-side-up or over-easy.
Assemble and Serve
- Plate the hash browns or serve them directly in the skillet for a rustic presentation. Top with fried eggs and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
Notes
