- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Scrambled Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk

For Toppings:

Instructions
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the hash browns.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt and black pepper to season evenly.
- Cook hash browns first side: Add vegetable oil to the heated skillet, then spread the seasoned potato mixture evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.

- Whisk the eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended.
- Scramble the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring gently and continuously until the eggs are fluffy and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the dish: Remove the hash browns from heat and top them with the creamy scrambled eggs, followed by sliced avocado and cottage cheese.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top for a fresh, bright finish before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, press the grated potatoes with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture before cooking.
- You can substitute cottage cheese with sour cream or Greek yogurt for different flavors.
- Add your favorite hot sauce or salsa for a spicy kick.
- Make sure to cook the eggs on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery texture.
