Delicious breakfast hash browns using your HexA!
Ingredients
- 3 white potatoes (medium, large, king edward-peeled)
- 1 egg
- 5 spring onions (plus extra for garnish)
- 5 rashers lean bacon (i use muscle foods)
- 60 g cheddar cheese (shredded, hexa)
- fry light
- salt
- pepper (to taste)
Method
- Cut the bacon into small pieces, and fry until crispy. Set aside to cool. Wash and dry the frying pan.
- Grate the potatoes into a bowl using a regular cheese grater.
- Transfer the grated potatoes into a sieve and run under a cold tap until the water running out of the bottom turns clear. Press the potatoes down to get rid of as much water as possible.
- Tip the potato onto a few sheets of tissue or a clean, dry cloth. Pat dry, removing as much water as possible.
- Put the potatoes back into a bowl, and crack in the egg. Chop the spring onions and add the bacon and cheese. Mix together. Season with salt & pepper to your taste.
- Put your frying pan back over a medium heat and spray with Fry Light. As the Fry Light begins to bubble spoon heaped tablespoons of your potato mixture into the frying pan, leaving a good sized gap between each one.
- When you\'ve got as many as you can fit into the frying pan, use the bottom of a glass to press them down slightly until they\'re the size/thickness you want, but making sure not to make them too thin as they won\'t flip if they are. I made mine about 1.5cm thick.
- Allow to fry for about 4 minutes on each side, or until brown and crispy, pushing any stray bits back in and pressing each hash brown with a spatula occasionally to bind the mixture together.
- Keep the first batch warm in the oven whilst you make the rest, and then serve with a sprinkling of onions alongside your breakfast!
