Ingredients
-
4 medium waxy potatoes, scrubbed clean
-
1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced
-
125ml Cornicabra Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
4 eggs (allowing 1 per person, but increase as you wish)
-
4tbsp Smoked Chilli Ketchup (or as much as you want)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Step 0: Place the potatoes in a pan, cover with cold water and bring up to the boil. Cook for around 10 minutes once boiling until just tender (test by inserting a sharp knife into the centre – there should still be a small amount of resistance in the centre). Drain, allow to cool and chill for a couple of hours.
- Step 1: Coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl, add the onions, season with salt and pepper and mix to combine.
- Step 2: Heat an oven to 150C/Fan 130C/Gas Mark 2. Place a large frying pan on a medium to high heat and add half the Olive Oil. It is hot enough when a piece of potato instantly begins to sizzle when dropped in. Take a handful of potato and shape into a palm sized patty, around 2-3 cm thick. In total, you are aiming to make 8 patties in total.
- Step 3: Carefully place in the hot Olive Oil and repeat so there are 4 hash browns cooking. Cook for 5 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, moderating the temperature if they are getting too dark too quickly, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on a plate or tray and keep warm in the oven.
- Step 4: Add the remaining Olive Oil and bring up to cooking temperature. Repeat previous step with remaining potato and when cooked, keep warm in the oven whilst the eggs are cooked.
- Step 5: Fish out any pieces of burnt potato from the pan and drain any excess Olive Oil if needed. Bring up to temperature then carefully crack 4 eggs into the pan, frying for 2-3 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
