Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, cook the hash browns in a little butter or oil until deeply golden.
Swap cottage cheese with shredded cheddar or feta for a different flavor profile.
Add diced tomatoes or green onions on top for freshness and color.
Use fresh hash browns by shredding raw potatoes and cooking them for a homemade touch.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. Keep in mind the avocado may brown slightly after storing.

How to Serve

Four golden brown crispy hash brown patties are arranged on a metal tray, each topped with a smooth, green layer of mashed avocado. On top of the avocado layer, there is a fluffy, bright yellow scrambled egg portion. The top layer is a white, creamy cottage cheese sprinkled generously with a mix of black and white sesame seeds and other small seeds. The textures contrast from crunchy base to soft topping, and the colors show warm golden, fresh green, bright yellow, and speckled white. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns?

Yes, you can shred raw potatoes and cook them in a skillet until crispy to make fresh hash browns. Just be sure to remove excess moisture by squeezing the shredded potato before cooking.
