How to make crispy hash brown patties

Featured Ingredients

For the hash brown patties:

• Frozen shredded hash browns: Grab a bag of your favorite shredded hash browns.
  • You'll want to microwave them, per the instructions below, so they're easy to work with to make the patties.
• Eggs: The eggs hold the hash brown patties together.
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt: To make the patties creamy on the inside (and they'll be crispy on the outside!).
• Dill and chives: For that delicious herbacious flavor.
• Spices: Onion and garlic powders, salt and black pepper.
• Oil: I use a neutral oil like avocado, but olive oil or something like canola oil will also work.

For the fried eggs:

• Eggs: One for each patty stack.
• Salt and pepper: To taste.
• Garnishes: The fried eggs and a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Place the frozen hash browns in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 60-90 seconds or until the hash browns are slightly soft.
2. To the bowl with the hash browns, add the eggs, sour cream or Greek yogurt, dill, chives, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a large bowl.
3. Mix until completely combined.
4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet.
5. Place dollops of hash brown mixture into hot skillet and lightly press them into a flat patty.
6. Allow them to cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crispy on each side. Repeat with remaining mixture.
7. Coat the same skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium-low.
8. Crack the eggs into the pan once it's hot and season with salt and black pepper.
9. Allow to cook for a few seconds, then turn heat down to medium-low.
10. Allow the egg to cook until egg white is almost set, then put a lid on the pan and turn to low.
11. Cook just until top of the white is set, but yolk is runny.
12. Place eggs on crispy hash brown patties and serve with dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt (if desired).
