Ingredients

• 1 large Russet potato

• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 medium Onion
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup or hot sauce (optional)

Step 1

Peel the potato and grate it using a box grater. Place the grated potato into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the grated potato and chopped onion to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Cook the potato mixture for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Remove the potato and onion hash from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 7

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat.

Step 8

Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up, or to your preferred doneness. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 9

Serve the crispy potato hash alongside the fried eggs. Optionally, drizzle with ketchup or hot sauce for added flavor.

Step 10

Enjoy your Murray’s Poor Man’s Breakfast while still warm.
