Follow these steps to create the perfect Crispy Hashbrown Breakfast Stacks:

1. Prepare the Hashbrowns

1. Grate the Potatoes: Start by peeling and grating the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
2. Drain and Dry: After soaking for a few minutes, drain the potatoes and use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
3. Season and Cook: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the grated potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes on each side.

2. Cook the Ham

4. Heat the Ham: In a separate skillet, heat the slices of ham until they are slightly crispy and heated through. Set aside.

3. Cook the Eggs

5. Prepare the Eggs: You can choose your preferred style of eggs for this dish. Fried, poached, or scrambled eggs all work well.
6. Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet where you cooked the ham, add a little butter if needed and cook the eggs to your liking.

4. Assemble the Stacks

7. Build the Layers: Start with a layer of crispy hashbrowns on a plate. Add a slice of ham, followed by a cooked egg. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top.
8. Repeat: Add another layer of hashbrowns, ham, and egg. Top with more cheese and optional toppings if desired.
