Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups Frozen hash browns Can substitute with fresh grated potatoes
  • 4 large Large eggs Free-range eggs are recommended for flavor
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese Use your favorite cheese like cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup Diced onions Shallots can also be used for a sweeter taste
  • 1/2 cup Diced bell peppers Any variety of bell pepper works well
  • Salt and pepper Freshly ground pepper adds more flavor
  • Cooking oil or butter Butter provides richness; oil makes it crispy

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter to coat the bottom.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the hash browns, eggs, cheese, onions, and bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Form the mixture into patties, ensuring they are compact to hold together while cooking.
  4. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy your Waffle House-style breakfast!

Notes

Use a non-stick skillet to avoid sticking; if needed, grease it adequately. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before forming patties to enhance binding. For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or garlic powder. Check early for doneness; remove from the skillet once they reach a golden color. Pair with hot sauce for a spicy kick that complements the savory flavors of the omelet.
