Ingredients
Scale
2 cups shredded potatoes (russet or refrigerated hash browns, thawed and dry)
2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
1 cup shredded Irish cheddar cheese
1 large egg
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (plus more if needed)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Shred the potatoes and rinse under cold water. Pat them dry thoroughly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage and a pinch of salt; sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.
- Push the cabbage to the edges of the skillet. Add remaining butter and spread potatoes in the center. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden.
- Mix the cabbage and potatoes gently, then flatten into an even layer. Sprinkle the cheese on top and let it melt.
- Make a well in the center and crack in the egg. Cover the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes until the egg white is set.
- Garnish with green onions, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
