No breakfast is complete without Crispy Golden Hash Browns and these are delicious!!
When you say "hash brown" they can be different depending on who you are asking. Here on this side of the Atlantic whenever I have had hash browns, they tend to be just lightly fried grated pieces of potato, often most of it white, not golden and not very crispy.
Being from the UK, when I think of a hash brown, I think of a nicely shaped crispy delicious piece of golden grated potato. The kind you can pick up with your hands and dunk in your egg. So, of course, soft egg yolk is always a must.
I love my eggs sunny side up, but if you like you eggs soft at the yolk but firm on the top - the method for How to Cook a Perfect Fried Egg is just for you.
Now you have that mastered, all that is left to do is make the Crispy Golden Hash Browns.
To get the nice round shape to the Crispy Golden Hash Browns. I use some egg ringswhich I got off Amazon. They are perfect for forming the grated potato, as you can push it down into the rings, remove and repeat until you have several hash browns, all ready to go in the oven.
They don't need to be perfectly round or perfectly any shape for that matter, but the egg rounds ensure you can pack all the grated potato together firmly.
Spray Oil - which one is best?
When it comes to spray oils I always choose one that is free from propellants and additives. Personally, I feel a spray oil should not need all these other ingredients and the only ingredients you should see is oil. Hunt around for one you like and are happy with and that of course is. I mostly use an Avocado Spray oil that I get from Costco or use Bertolli Olive Oil Spray.
MyCrispy Golden Hash Browns,are so easy to make, they are literally just potato, salt and onion powder. That's it!!
These are of course gluten free and dairy free, so perfect for anyone with intolerances to those items. These would also be okay for Whole30 or paleo if you eat white potatoes.
