Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups shredded potatoes (fresh or thawed frozen hash browns)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin well with nonstick spray or butter.
- In a bowl, mix shredded potatoes, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese.
- Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cups. Use your fingers to press it firmly into the sides and bottom, forming nest shapes.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until edges are deeply golden and crisp.
- Carefully crack one egg into each hash brown nest. Return to oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until eggs are set to your desired doneness.
- Remove from oven, cool slightly, then use a knife to loosen edges and lift out gently.
- Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from shredded potatoes for extra crispiness.
- Use a silicone muffin pan for easier release.
- Try adding diced cooked bacon or vegetables to the potato mixture for variation.
