Potato and Leek Hashbrowns with Eggs

Another amazing dish created by the talented Stacey Hatfield from Natural Spoonfuls! This recipe makes for a perfect, wholesome breakfast and is delicious fried in one of our larger frypans like the AUS-ION™ 30cm Frypan.

Stacey also cooked up these crispy hashbrowns with the help of our versatile, durable and non-toxic Kitchen Tools, including the handy Lil Flippa to get those perfect crispy edges.

Ingredients (serves 2–4)

  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 leek, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
  • 2 eggs (plus extra eggs to fry for serving)
  • 2 tbsp plain flour or rice flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp oil or butter for frying
  • Fresh herbs to serve (chives, dill, or parsley)

Method

  1. Grate the potatoes and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean tea towel or cheesecloth. This is key to crispy hashbrowns!
  2. Combine the grated potato, sliced leek, 2 eggs, flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
  3. Heat your AUS-ION™ 30cm frypan over medium heat. Add oil or butter and allow to heat through.
  4. Spoon portions of the mixture into the pan and press down gently to form patties. Don't overcrowd — cook in batches if needed.
  5. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use a Lil Flippa or spatula to flip carefully.
  6. Remove hashbrowns from the pan and keep warm. In the same pan, fry extra eggs to your liking.
  7. Serve hashbrowns topped with fried eggs and fresh herbs.

Tip: The drier your potato, the crispier your hashbrown. Don't skip the squeezing step! These are also great with a dollop of sour cream or your favourite hot sauce.
