A quick and easy breakfast sandwich featuring crispy smashed hash browns cooked on a Blackstone griddle, layered with melted cheddar cheese, fried eggs, and crispy bacon on a toasted bun.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or canola oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs per sandwich, fresh and at room temperature
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 34 strips bacon, cooked crispy (optional)
  • 1 brioche bun or soft sandwich bun per sandwich
  • Ketchup or hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Transfer the dried potatoes to a mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
  2. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). Brush lightly with vegetable oil and add the butter for flavor and browning.
  3. Scoop about ½ cup (120g) of grated potatoes onto the griddle. Using a spatula or metal scraper, press down firmly to flatten into a ¼-inch thick patty. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
  4. Cook bacon strips on a cooler part of the griddle or in a separate pan until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Crack eggs onto the griddle away from hash browns and bacon. Cook sunny side up or over-easy, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Slice brioche buns and toast lightly on the griddle with a little butter until golden and slightly crisp.
  7. Assemble the sandwich by layering the bottom bun with a hash brown patty, a slice of cheddar cheese (allow it to melt slightly), the fried egg, and crispy bacon. Top with the bun crown. Add ketchup or hot sauce if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.

Notes

Dry potatoes thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use medium-high heat and do not flip hash browns too soon to develop a solid crust. Toast buns on the griddle with butter for added flavor and texture. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps. Vegetarian and vegan adaptations are possible by omitting bacon and eggs or using plant-based alternatives.
