Ingredients

Grate the peeled potatoes on a box grater and add the grated potatoes to a large bowl filled with cold water. Strain the grated potatoes in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands, then wrap the grated potatoes in a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Combine the grated potatoes, grated Cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons of the salt and some pepper in a large bowl.
Combine the ketchup with the harissa paste in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 6-inch skillet over medium heat until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Add a quarter of the grated potato mixture to the skillet in a thin layer and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked hash brown disk to a sheet tray.
Cook three more batches of the hash brown disks, adding 1 tablespoon of the butter and a quarter of the remaining grated potato mixture each time.
Cut a hole in the center of each of the hash brown disks with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 hash brown disk with a hole and crack 1 egg into the hole you created. Place a lid on top of the skillet to trap the steam and cook the eggs until they set, 2 to 3 minutes.
Gently transfer the Hash Brown Egg-in-a-Hole to a plate. Repeat with the remaining butter, hash brown disks and eggs in three batches.
Serve drizzled with the harissa ketchup.

The chef really bugged me. I can’t watch her again.
