A hearty and indulgent breakfast burger featuring crispy hash brown buns, melted cheddar cheese, savory bacon, and a perfectly cooked egg. Perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded russet potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes), rinsed and patted dry
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil (for frying)
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 leaves of crisp lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • Optional: sliced avocado or pickles
  • Butter or cooking spray (for cooking eggs)
  • Ketchup, hot sauce, or your favorite breakfast sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to season eggs and bacon

Instructions

  1. Rinse the shredded russet potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain and squeeze as much moisture out as possible using a clean kitchen towel. In a large bowl, mix the potatoes with the flour, beaten egg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a flat, round patty about 3 to 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place 4 patties in the pan, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed.
  4. In the same skillet or a separate pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 4-6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Use a nonstick pan, lightly greased with butter or cooking spray. Cook eggs to your liking—sunny-side-up or over-easy works best. Season with salt and pepper. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Assemble the burgers by taking one hash brown bun, topping with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a slice of cheddar cheese, two strips of bacon, and an egg. Add optional avocado or pickles if desired. Top with a second hash brown bun to complete the sandwich. Add ketchup or hot sauce if desired.
  7. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and melty cheese goodness.

Notes

Dry shredded potatoes thoroughly to prevent soggy buns. Use a thin spatula to flip hash brown buns gently. Keep cooked buns warm in a low oven if making for a crowd. For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour. Bacon can be cooked in the oven for extra crispiness. Serve immediately for best texture.
