HASH BROWN EGG-IN-A-HOLE
Steps:
- Grate the peeled potatoes on a box grater and add the grated potatoes to a large bowl filled with cold water. Strain the grated potatoes in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands, then wrap the grated potatoes in a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Combine the grated potatoes, grated Cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons of the salt and some pepper in a large bowl.
- Combine the ketchup with the harissa paste in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 6-inch skillet over medium heat until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Add a quarter of the grated potato mixture to the skillet in a thin layer and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked hash brown disk to a sheet tray.
- Cook three more batches of the hash brown disks, adding 1 tablespoon of the butter and a quarter of the remaining grated potato mixture each time.
- Cut a hole in the center of each of the hash brown disks with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 hash brown disk with a hole and crack 1 egg into the hole you created. Place a lid on top of the skillet to trap the steam and cook the eggs until they set, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Gently transfer the Hash Brown Egg-in-a-Hole to a plate. Repeat with the remaining butter, hash brown disks and eggs in three batches.
- Serve drizzled with the harissa ketchup.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Pulse together the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces form. Add the cheese and chives and pulse until just combined. Add the buttermilk and pulse a couple of times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat together gently into a ball. Use your hands to divide the dough into 6 even pieces. Generously coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Using the baking sheet as your work surface, pat each piece of dough into a 3 1/2-inch round about 3/4 inch thick. Arrange 3 dough rounds along the top long edge of the baking sheet, spacing them out evenly and making sure there is a 1/2-inch space between the dough rounds and the edges of the baking sheet. Arrange the remaining 3 dough rounds in the same fashion along the bottom long edge of the baking sheet. Cut the center out of each round with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Arrange these smaller rounds evenly across the middle of the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of all the dough pieces with buttermilk and bake until the smaller biscuits are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them and transfer to a plate.
- Lay a piece of ham over each of the large rounds. Push each ham piece down into the hole so that it forms a cup. Crack 1 egg into each of the ham cups. If a little of the egg white spills over, it's okay. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Bake, rotating the pan front to back after 5 minutes, until the whites are just set and the yolks are still jiggly when you lightly shake the baking sheet, 8 to 12 minutes more.
- Use a spatula to remove them to individual plates and top each with a smaller biscuit piece for dipping into the egg.
