Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 4 slices American cheese
• 2 kaiser rolls
• 1 large, sliced yellow onion
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 1/4 cups frozen shredded hash browns
• 1 1/4 tbsp canola oil
• 2 tsp total salt, black pepper and paprika

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

1. Press the hash browns dry in a towel, then fry in the oil over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, flipping once, until both sides are crisp and deep brown.
2. Cook the onion in half the butter over medium heat for 8 minutes until it collapses, sweetens and turns golden.
3. Split and toast the rolls on the griddle with the rest of the butter until the cut faces are browned.
4. Fry the eggs two at a time in the onion pan for 3 minutes until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still soft.
5. Lay cheese over the hot eggs and cover for 30 seconds so it melts onto them.
6. Spread the rolls with mayonnaise, stack two eggs, the melted cheese and the onions on each, and press the top down before cutting.
