hash browns syn free ones with normal onions ???

[emmalouise88]

Can I use just normal onion or does it need to be spring onions

I have made the full fat versions in the past with either but personally i prefer the taste of them with Spring onions or Red onions

I make hash browns all the time for breakfast, it replaces bread to keep me full!! I don't even add cheese, literally grate potato, squeeze aaaallll the moisture out, add salt and pepper, then flatten in a frying pan/pancake pan (I use one of these, its awesome) some fry light to fry it in, and have poached eggs ontop.. Lush breakfast, syn freeee xxx

I like this idea - I struggle with breakfasts as I love bread, and the idea of eggs or beans without seems odd! I wonder if I could grate and prepare the night before to make it easy in the morning when bleary eyed and rushing out the door???

I think the potato would probably go brown? But honestly it takes like 15 mins to do! And it totally fills you up. X

 

[megandmog]

Oh yeah - you are probably right.

Ok - will try tomorrow. Kids to school then hash browns and fry light fried egg for breakfast. Will let you know how it goes!

Well I had this for breakfast. It was yummy and very filling with two fried eggs on top (yum yum!)

However it did not work very well - I could not get it to stick together!! I used a potato masher and then my hands, then tried it in a burger press and then gave up and just fried the grated potato and pushed it into a blob to add the eggs!

Where did I go wrong??

I put it into a tea towel then squeeze as hard as I can, like twist it round, once it's really dry I push it down totally flat like a pancake and keep pressing as it cooks it kinda sets together, then cut it into quarters and flip them one by one, if you try and turn them too early tho they fall to bits I had them too with salmon and poached eggs x
