Ingredients
- 1 Potato large
- 1 Eggs
- 3 tbsp Cheese grated
- 1-2 tsp Salt as per taste
- 1/2 tsp Pepper for seasoning
- ½ tsp Oregano Flakes
- ½ tsp Chilli Flakes
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 1 tbsp Spring Onion Greens for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and grate the potato. In a bowl, combine the grated potato with salt and pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasoning.
Create the Hash Brown Nests
- Heat the butter (or oil) in a mini non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a portion of the grated potato mixture to the center of the skillet, pressing gently to form a small, shallow circle or nest, leaving a slight well in the center. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and crispy.
Add the Egg and Cheese
- Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the cooked hash brown base. Gently crack the egg into the center of the nest. Top with the remaining cheese.
Finish Cooking and Garnish
- Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes (if using). Garnish with chopped spring onions.
Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully remove the hash brown nest from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce (sweet chili sauce is recommended!).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Hash Brown Egg Nests
- For extra crispy hash browns, squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes before cooking. You can do this by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and squeezing firmly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the hash browns in batches if necessary to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your preferred level of egg doneness. For runny yolks, cook for a shorter time; for fully cooked yolks, cook for longer.
- Experiment with different types of cheese! Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a blend would all be delicious.
