Treat yourself with a savory egg and cheese hash brown skillet! Crispy potatoes, melted cheese, and perfectly cooked eggs all in one pan. It’s a hearty and delicious way to start off any morning.
I’ll let you in on a little secret…
This Egg and Cheese Hash Brown Skillet is so easy and is a go to breakfast/brunch for my husband and I. Give it a try with some smoked gouda and you wont regret it! To make this recipe quick and simple I use the Simply Potatoes bagged pre-shredded hashbrowns you can find at most grocery stores. However; you can shred your own potatoes if you’d like.
A couple of tips to make this restaurant quality:
- For crispy crunchy hash browns: heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds to bring to room temperature before cooking then coat with cornstarch and seasonings before pan frying.
- For perfect eggs: turn heat to medium/low after adding them and cover with a lid so they can cook slow and steady.
Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients!
- 1/2 bag Simply Potatoes shredded hash browns
- 4 tablespoons corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic or onion powder
- 3 tablespoons or more olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup or more shredded cheese of choice
- salt and pepper to tase
Instructions:
- In a microwave, safe bowl, place half a bag of shredded potatoes in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Remove from microwave, add in the cornstarch and seasonings, and mix to combine.
- Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to your skillet and heat over medium high.
- Spread the hash browns evenly in the skillet. Press them down with a spatula to form an even layer. Cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crispy.
- Carefully flip the hash browns over to cook the other side, adding a drizzle of more olive oil to the outer edges.
- Crack the eggs directly on top of the hash browns and sprinkle to shredded cheese on top.
- Cover with lid and lower heat to medium-low.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes until the top of the egg whites are just set for a runny yolk or longer for well done. (If you lightly shake to skillet and you see the egg whites are still liquidy, they need a little more time.)
- Cut into portions using a spatula and plate.
- Serve with Egg and Cheese Hash Browns with ketchup or hot sauce and enjoy!
Bon Apetit!
