Gordon Ramsay Shows Us How To Make A Game-Changing Breakfast

It's probably a waste of Gordon Ramsay's talent to look at basic meals like a full English breakfast, but the sweary Scot has come down from planet culinary to show us all how it's done.

The Michelin-starred, foul-mouthed celebrity chef was once known for his many fancy restaurants - and his ability to shout at anyone who wasn't quite as good at cooking as he was - but it seems that he has developed something of a common touch in recent years, if his latest brekkie video is anything to go by.

Ramsay rustles up an 'all-American superhero of a breakfast' that depends on just a few standard ingredients, and appears to have developed the perfect fusion food: hash brown eggs.

That's right: eggs, baked in the hash browns.

You'll need yourself some potatoes - duh - and a particularly waxy strain of potatoes at that, finely grated and mixed with cayenne pepper and onion. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can to ensure maximum crispiness.

And as you can see in the video above, get that crisp going by firing the whole spud mixture into a pan lined with olive oil and pressing it down, before chucking in a few knobs of butter to really release the potential of the onions. And in all likelihood, to free it from the bottom of the pan that you've just been squashing it into.

The compacted potatoes are flipped using a plate - Ramsay top tip - before the crucial addition to proceedings. Crack the eggs on top of the hash brown with a pinch more cayenne and then bake the whole lot in a pre-heated oven for six to eight minutes.

Of course, you can spend that six to eight minutes doing something spectacular as well: fling a second shot of olive oil into a different pan and throw in salt, pepper, butter and crucially, two big spoonfuls of brown sugar to make a caramel, before adding your bacon and letting it cook through.

After removing it from the flame and removing your eggs spuds from the oven, all that you need to do is slide the hash brown out and place the glazed bacon on top for a brekkie fit for a king - or more likely, given the American angle here, a President.

You don't need to thank us. You can thank Gordon Ramsay - although maybe you'd be best not to ask him what he thinks of your own attempts...
