Ingredient notes

- Hatch green chilies can be mild or hot based on your preference.
Tips from Cowboy Kent Rollins’s video
- Rinse the grated russet potatoes multiple times until the water is clear to ensure they fry up crispy.
- Cook the pork sausage until browned before adding it back to the eggs for extra flavor from the rendered fat.
- When frying the hash browns, make sure they are patted dry after rinsing to prevent splattering in the hot oil.
