Ready In: 1 hr
Serves: 6
Yields: 12 hash brown benedicts
Ingredients
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
- 12 slices Canadian bacon, cooked until lightly browned and kept warm
- 12 poached eggs
Directions
- Rinse the potatoes, drain and pat dry. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, cornstarch, salt and black pepper.
- In 10-inch fry pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Working in batches, form the potato mixture into 1/4-cup patties and drop them into the oil. Cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in a 250°F oven.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice and 2 teaspoons water.
- Transfer to a double boiler set over medium-low heat, until the water is just simmering inside the double boiler. Whisk constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, then remove from the heat and whisk for 1 minute more.
- Season with salt, black pepper and cayenne. Whisking constantly, slowly stream in the melted butter until incorporated, then whisk in the chives.
- Keep the hollandaise sauce warm.
- Place 2 hash brown patties on each plate. Top each patty with 1 slice of Canadian bacon, 1 poached egg and a spoonful of the hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
