This makes a delicious brunch, or light meal. The crunchy baked potato nest was lovely mixed with the textures of two runny eggs and avocado, while the hot sauce gave it a tiny bit of zing.
I ate it all in one hit as a main meal at night although it was probably enough for two people for brunch or breakfast.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 - 50 minutes
Serves: 1 - 2
Ingredients
2 large potatoes
1 tsp garlic powder
2 large eggs
½ avocado
Hot sauce, to taste (optional)
Lettuce or parsley, to garnish (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°/180° fan forced.
Sprialize the potatoes into thin strips. If you do not have a spiraliser, you can buy them on Ebay for about $10. However if you do not wish to do this, cut them into very thin pieces, making them as long as possible. In the end it does not really matter how they are cut as long as they are very thin. You could also grate them, but I would use a bit more potato if you do this.
Drizzle these potato shreds with a bit of olive oil, and mix together with some salt, pepper and the garlic powder.
Spray a small, shallow pie pan or oblong dish with cooking spray, and pack the potato noodles tightly into this and up around the edges.

Press them down firmly in the middle
Bake for about 40 - 45 minutes or until they are crispy and going a golden colour.
Carefully remove this nest from the dish and put on your dinner plate.
If you are going to use it for two people, I would then cut it in half and put half on each plate.
When the potato nest is almost finished, fry the two eggs until the whites are set leaving the yolks runny.

Use egg rings to cook eggs
Add the eggs, and then the avocado though it would probably look nicer if you added the avocado first and then the eggs!
Sprinkle with the hot sauce, if using and garnish with the lettuce or some parsley.
