Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter, for frying
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- Optional: garlic powder, thyme, or poultry seasoning
- 2–4 large eggs
- Chopped parsley or green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes. Place them in a towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Mix with flour, egg, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the Hash Browns: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potato mixture and flatten into patties. Cook 5–7 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Make the Chicken Gravy: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to form a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth and thickened. Stir in shredded chicken and season to taste.
- Cook the Eggs: In a clean skillet, cook eggs sunny-side-up or to desired doneness. The runny yolk pairs perfectly with the gravy.
- Assemble: Place hash browns on a plate, spoon chicken gravy over the top, and finish with a cooked egg. Garnish with parsley or green onions.
Notes
To keep hash browns crispy, squeeze out all excess water before cooking. Use leftover chicken for the gravy to save time. You can substitute the chicken with turkey, mushrooms, or sausage. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
