Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium russet potatoes, peeled (about 2 pounds)
1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons harissa
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Grate the peeled potatoes on a box grater and add the grated potatoes to a large bowl filled with cold water. Strain the grated potatoes in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands, then wrap the grated potatoes in a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  • Combine the grated potatoes, grated Cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons of the salt and some pepper in a large bowl.
  • Combine the ketchup with the harissa paste in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 6-inch skillet over medium heat until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Add a quarter of the grated potato mixture to the skillet in a thin layer and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked hash brown disk to a sheet tray.
  • Cook three more batches of the hash brown disks, adding 1 tablespoon of the butter and a quarter of the remaining grated potato mixture each time.
  • Cut a hole in the center of each of the hash brown disks with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 hash brown disk with a hole and crack 1 egg into the hole you created. Place a lid on top of the skillet to trap the steam and cook the eggs until they set, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Gently transfer the Hash Brown Egg-in-a-Hole to a plate. Repeat with the remaining butter, hash brown disks and eggs in three batches.
  • Serve drizzled with the harissa ketchup.
