Soft-poached eggs with hash browns and crispy bacon

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • HASH BROWNS
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 4 potatoes, peeled, coarsely grated and squeezed
  • ½ small onion, grated and squeezed
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • 6 large soft-poached eggs
  • crispy streaky bacon, to serve
  • fresh rocket, to serve
  • sweet chilli sauce, to serve

Instructions

1

For the hash browns, combine all of the ingredients, except for the oil, in a large bowl and season well.

2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add spoonfuls of the potato mixture to the pan and flatten with the back of a spoon.

3

Fry until golden and crisp, about 2 – 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

4

To serve, place the hash browns on a serving platter, top with a soft poached egg, crispy streaky bacon and lots of fresh rocket.

5

Serve with sweet chilli sauce on the side.

Notes

I enjoy spicy food and the sweet chilli adds just a touch. For those who prefer more of a bite, add some chopped fresh red chilli to the mix for a fresh, spicy flavour burst.
