Notes
If
you don't have frozen shredded hash browns, bake 4-6 russet potatoes.
Let them cool off, then peel and grate them to form shreds.
Spray them down with nonstick spray so it doesn’t stick. You don’t wanna mangle these beauties before they even have a chance to leave the pan! You’ll want to fill each one up and then using your fingers, press down in the middle to push and mold the hash browns to cover the sides. The more it sticks out the better! This is what makes it look like a nest.
Then you bake it so it sets. Once that’s done crack in eggs into each nest and top with bacon bits, cheese and parsley. Then bake again until the egg whites settle. Serve with fresh chilled avocado slices.
