Eggberts Sunriser
- 2 to 3 cups canola oil, for frying
- 6 cups frozen hash browns
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 18 to 20 frozen mini potato wedges
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups diced ham
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced, optional
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
- 8 eggs
- Store-bought salsa, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet and heat to medium.
- Add the hash browns and leave them undisturbed for a few minutes.
- Make sure the skillet's not too hot.
- Ideally you'll turn them only once and then cook them on the other side--you want them crispy and golden.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In another skillet, add about an inch of oil.
- Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F. Fry the potato wedges until golden brown and crisp.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- (You can also bake these in the oven if you prefer.)
- Drain the hash browns and potato wedges on a paper towel and keep warm.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet until melted.
- Throw in the ham, jalapenos if using, onions and bell peppers and toss them around for several seconds.
- Turn off the heat and set the pan aside.
- In 8 individual skillets (or 1 very large one) layer: the hash browns, the veggie/ ham mixture and then the grated cheese.
- Bake for a minute or 2, until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven with an oven mitt, as the skillets will be hot.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet and fry the first 4 eggs, then remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and fry the remaining 4 eggs.
- Place the potato wedges over the top of the melted cheese, then top with 1 egg per skillet.
- Spoon the salsa over the top and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
