Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup smoked brisket, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 large eggs
  • Hot sauce, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, smoked brisket pieces, diced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
  3. Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Let the butter melt and the oil shimmer (about 2 minutes).
  4. Spread the potato and brisket mixture evenly in the pan, pressing down lightly with a spatula to form a compact layer. Cook undisturbed for 6–8 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Carefully flip the hash browns in sections or as one large patty using a spatula. Add the remaining butter and oil around the edges. Cook for another 6 minutes until the other side is golden and crispy.
  6. While the hash browns finish cooking, heat a separate non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of oil or butter and crack in the eggs. Cook sunny side up for 3–4 minutes or until whites are set but yolks still runny.
  7. Plate the crispy smoked brisket hash browns, top each serving with a fried egg, and finish with a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Dry the grated potatoes thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use both butter and oil for richness and a higher smoke point. Let the hash browns cook undisturbed to develop a golden crust. Start frying eggs when hash browns are halfway done so they finish together. If flipping the whole hash brown is difficult, flip in smaller sections.
