Crispy Hash Brown Haystacks

Recipe by The Gourmet RD

Always a fried egg is thrown in there, huh? I’m a firm believer that you can make any meal into breakfast if you throw a fried egg on top.  Are you with me?

Ingredients

• 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
• ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1½ tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tbsp fresh chives (chopped)
• ¾ tsp garlic powder
• ¾ tsp coarse salt
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp oil
• coarse salt and ground black pepper
• green onion and sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)
• 6 eggs

Method

1. Place hash browns, eggs, sour cream/Greek yoghurt, dill, chives, garlic powder, salt, onion powder and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix until completely combined.
   
   Heat oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet. Place dollops of hash brown mixture into hot skillet. Allow to cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crispy on each side. Repeat with remaining mixture.
   
   Coat a medium frying pan with cooking spray and heat to medium. Crack eggs into the pan once it’s hot and season with salt and black pepper. Allow to cook for a few seconds, then turn the heat down to medium-low.
   
   Allow to cook until egg white is almost set, then put a lid on the pan and turn to low. Cook just until top of the white is set, but the yolk is completely uncooked.
   
   Place eggs on crispy hash brown haystacks and serve with green onion or sour cream/Greek yogurt.
