Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen hash browns
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small, diced yellow onion
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon (divided) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup (optional) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish, optional) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the frozen hash browns, spreading them evenly across the skillet. Season with garlic powder, paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
Cook the hash browns undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the hash browns and repeat until both sides are evenly browned.
Reduce the heat to low and make four small wells in the hash browns using the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well.
Season the eggs with a pinch of the remaining salt. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (or cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns during the final minute of cooking. Allow it to melt before removing the skillet from the heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your savory skillet egg and hash browns breakfast!
