Ingredients

Scale

Hash Browns and Eggs

  • 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Bacon Gravy

  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook Hash Browns: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen shredded hash browns and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  2. Fry Bacon: In a separate pan, fry the 6 slices of bacon over medium heat until they are crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Make Bacon Gravy: Using the reserved bacon grease in the pan, whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over medium heat until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually pour in 1 cup of whole milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Cook and stir until the gravy thickens. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to taste.
  4. Fry Eggs: In a nonstick skillet, carefully fry the eggs sunny-side-up until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, or to your preferred doneness.
  5. Assemble and Serve: On each plate, layer a serving of crispy hash browns, generously drizzle with bacon gravy, and top with a perfectly fried egg. Serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, crumble the cooked bacon over the hash browns before adding gravy.
  • Use fresh eggs for the best texture and appearance when frying sunny-side-up.
  • To make the gravy thicker, cook a little longer after adding milk or add a bit more flour if needed.
  • Can be garnished with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for color and freshness.
  • Make sure the hash browns are well drained of excess moisture before frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
