Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash BrownsInstructions
- Bring water and vinegar to a simmer in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Gently crack eggs, 3 at a time, into simmering water; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are cooked to desired doneness. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Meanwhile, squeeze potatoes and zucchini between several layers of paper towels until dry. Stir together potatoes, zucchini, carrot, onion, and parsley in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle 3 Tbsp flour, salt, and pepper over mixture; toss. Add beaten egg, stirring until blended. Set aside.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, reserving 2 Tbsp drippings in skillet.
- Add 2 Tbsp butter to drippings in skillet; heat over medium heat.
- Spoon potato mixture by ⅓ cupfuls, into hot skillet. Press down gently. Cook, 4 to 5 minutes per side or until browned and crisp. Transfer to a wire rack over a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining potato mixture. Keep warm in a 200°F oven, if desired.
- Melt remaining 2 Tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining 2 Tbsp flour, whisking until blended. Cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes.
- Gradually add milk; cook, whisking occasionally until mixture is thickened. Gradually stir in cheese until melted.
- Top two crispy potato pancakes with 1 poached egg; drizzle with cheese sauce, and sprinkle with crispy bacon. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if on hand.
