Steps

  • 1

    Add frozen hash brown potatoes and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet; stir to combine. Spread hash brown mixture evenly in skillet. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until bottom starts to brown. Using spatula, working in sections, turn hash browns over so browned side is on top. Use large spoon or spatula to make four indentations in hash brown mixture; crack 1 egg into each hole. Sprinkle eggs with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.

    Spoon 1 cup salsa around eggs; sprinkle cheese over salsa. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until egg whites and yolks are firm, not runny and cheese is melted.

    Serve with remaining ingredients.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Chili powder brands can vary considerably in heat levels. If your chili powder is extra mild or if you like your huevos on the hotter side, add 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) with the chili powder.
  • tip 2
    Pepper Jack cheese makes a nice substitution for the Cheddar cheese in this recipe.
