Simple recipe. Peel a small potato. Grate it into small pieces for hash browning.

Oil and butter in the pan. All chopped onions. and saute. Then the has browns. Press down on top.

Add grated cheese for a binder. Bake and flip over when golden brown.

In the meantime bake the sausages.

Transfer to a dish.

In the pan fry the egg. Add to the dish. Add a sauce of your choice and toast if preferred.

I love stuff almost burned.

Like McDonalds hash browns. They have a special now of a sausage biscuit and a hash brown for 1.50. I splurge on Saturday and get one. Nice breakfast for $1.62 including taxes.

Sounds great. I like making my own hash browns because I can nearly burn them. And I only make as much as I need. No leftovers. Fresh is good. And mine have cheese and onions in them.

Passes the time as well.

Nothing to do and all day to do it in.

They have hash brown patties in the frozen food aisles. Saves a lot of peeling & shredding.

Oh but they're not nearly as good. I've tried frozen in packages, frozen to put in toaster, boxed, probably every possible type, but nothing is as good as homemade.

I make mine the same way Camper posted, but I've never thought about adding cheese, and I don't peel the potatoes.
 
One of my grandmas always shredded her potatoes the night before and soaked them in water (in the fridge - probably just in summer) over night.
It made the hashbrowns a bit different, but I can't remember how.

I usually pan fry my sausage, then cook the hashbrowns in the grease from the sausage, and add the egg when the hashbrowns are about done.
 
Did something similar over the weekend. Had no cheese though, sounds good. I diced up chicken into the taters though. And onion. Served with eggs.
 
I buy shredded potatoes from the grocer refrigerator section called "Simply Potatoes." They are raw shredded potatoes so it saves me a step when making hash browns. I like to add a little chopped onion and cook till a nice "crust" is formed. Yummy.

Camper6, your breakfast looks fabulous!
 
When I make my home-made hash browns, I add one easy step which makes them MUCH crisper. After grating the potatoes, gather together a hand full and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. then add to almost smoking hot oil.

I left that out. After grating I squeeze them by hand till most of the liquid is gone.

That is important. I'm inspired now. That's what I will make for lunch.
 
Camper that looks delicious. Can't beat homemade for the best hash browns. In a pinch I use the Hungry Jacks in the box. We got a box of them free when visiting the Idaho Potato museum a few years back. Just add boiling water, drain after a few minutes,add seasonings and fry. I think they come in cheese also. The frozen hash browns are not for the toaster oven but I noticed if you put through the toast cycle a couple of times they come out just as good as the little 4 or 6 in a box especially made for the toaster andboxed hash browns (800x600).jpghash brows 1 (800x600).jpg are very expensive.
