Ingredients

• 4 cups frozen hash browns, shredded
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 pound ground breakfast sausage
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
• 4 large eggs
• 0 to taste hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded hash browns in an even layer and cook until golden and crispy on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and crisp the other side for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 2

In the same skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the mixture smells nutty and turns light golden brown.

Step 4

Slowly pour the milk into the skillet while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk and cook over medium heat until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 5

In a separate non-stick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

To assemble the dish, place a generous portion of crispy hash browns on each serving plate. Ladle sausage gravy over the hash browns, then top with a fried egg. Drizzle with hot sauce (if desired) and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting, savory goodness of the Sarasota's Slippery Slopes Slinger!
