Indulge in the ultimate comfort breakfast with crispy bacon, fried eggs and golden hash browns, each bite a perfect combination of savory flavors. This classic trio embodies the warmth of home and the simple joys of a delicious morning meal.
Prepare the bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
8 rashers smoked back bacon
Cook the hash browns: Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, melted butter, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.
2 large russet potatoes, 2 tbsp butter, salt, ground black pepper
Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a portion of the potato mixture to the skillet, pressing it down firmly to form a patty. Cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 4-5 minutes. Flip the hash brown and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy on both sides. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
1 tbsp cooking oil
Fry the eggs: In a separate skillet, heat a tablespoon cooking oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4 large eggs, salt, 1 tbsp cooking oil, ground black pepper
Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up or 3-4 minutes for over-easy.
Assemble the breakfast trio: Arrange the hash browns on the dish, add the bacon on top and the fried egg on top of everything so when the egg is broken the runny yolk flows over everything.
