Potato Hash with Baked Egg



So i think i saw a dish similar to this on foodgawker or something, and it had been sitting in my head for a while, and really it involves ingredients i almost always have - so one lazy saturday - which i have way to few of these days, i decided to chef-it-up and make this egg baked in potato hash.




For the hash i used the standard onions and garlic. I cut the potatoes smaller than i would usually, and boiled them first - it allows you to make a better crust on them.

I did the potatoes for a while then added the onion and garlic. This way takes a lot of patience.






Once the potatoes were crispy i made a small well and cracked an egg in it. I then seasoned it with pepper and added some shredded cheese, putting it in the oven, i think i had it pretty high - maybe 450. Important to use a pan that can go from stovetop to oven.




The hardest part was taking this out of the pan effectively - the presentation wasn't as centred as i would like, but this would actually be a really good thing to make for a group in a larger pan. It was actually amazing, and i ate everything on that plate!!!
