- 4 eggs
- 4 tbsp butter

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Gather all the ingredients and tools.
- Peel and grate the potatoes with a box grater or food processor.
- Peel and grate the onion.
- Mix the grated/shredded hash browns with the onions.
- Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the shredded potatoes-onion mixture through a cheesecloth or paper towel.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the hash browns mixture and season with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Cooking Instructions
- Heat an oven-safe pan over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add the hash browns to the hot pan. Spread them with a rubber spatula, and pat the sides down.
- Add 3 tablespoons of butter on the sides of the hash brown and leave to cook for 5 to 7 minutes before flipping.
- Flip the hash browns with a plate. Cover the pan with a plate larger or the same size as it, remove it from the heat, and flip it upside down. Slide the half-cooked hash browns from the plate back into the pan and return it to the heat to cook the other side for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Crack eggs on top of the hash browns, then season with cayenne pepper or black pepper and salt. Bake the eggs in the oven for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, glaze the bacon in a nonstick sauteing pan. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining butter, brown sugar, salt, and peppers to the hot pan. Add the bacon slices and cook until golden brown and irresistibly caramelized. Remove and set aside.
- Remove the hash browns with baked eggs from the oven. Layer the glazed bacon slices over it and serve immediately. Enjoy!
