Ingredients
Scale
Hash Browns
- 4 frozen hash brown patties
Spicy Smashed Avocado
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Chili oil or hot sauce for drizzling
- Poached or fried eggs
Instructions
- Cook Hash Browns: Prepare the frozen hash brown patties according to the package instructions, either by baking or pan-frying for 15-20 minutes until they become crispy and golden brown on the outside.
- Prepare Spicy Avocado Mash: While hash browns cook, place peeled and pitted avocados into a bowl and mash them with a fork until smooth or with slight chunks. Stir in lime juice, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix in finely diced jalapeño and chopped cilantro if using. Adjust the seasoning by tasting and adding more spice or salt as desired.
- Assemble Toasts: Once hash browns are cooked and crisp, transfer them to a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the spicy smashed avocado mixture evenly on top of each hash brown patty.
- Add Final Touches: Drizzle with chili oil or your favorite hot sauce to enhance the heat and flavor. Top each with a poached or fried egg if desired to add protein and richness.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your spicy smashed avocado hash brown toasts right away for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- For extra crunch and texture, sprinkle toasted seeds or microgreens on top of the avocado mash.
- You can prepare the avocado mash ahead of time; to prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating.
