This is a tasty dish and would make a great brunch companion or main. Easy to make. I strongly recommend a stiff bloody mary to start.
Ingredients
Trader Joe's shredded hash browns, 1 bag
Trader Joe's smoked rainbow trout (usually frozen), 1 pack thawed and sliced
Trader Joe's smoked ghost chilies (shelved with the spices), several cracks
1 large bunch of leafy greens like collards, spinach, mustard, or kale, stemmy parts removed and sliced thin
salt
2 T. some tasty mustard
2 T. apple cider vinegar
oil
as many eggs as you have people, or more
Method
Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan. Add the hash browns and cook until browned and/or more-or-less cooked. They don't have to actually brown; it doesn't matter. Probably at least 10 minutes on medium heat.
Add the leafy greens and cook for a while until they are wilted or reduced in volume by half. Add the trout slices. Add the chilies, mustard, vinegar, and salt to taste. (The trout is on the salty side, which you probably realize already because you tasted it, but in case you didn't, you don't have to add THAT much salt in spite of the fact that hash browns are notorious for saline absorption. Just add and taste.)
After stirring well, add the trout pieces and a few cracks of the ghost chilies. Listen: these ghost chilies are fucking spicy. Don't go overboard. Three good cracks at most. You can always add more later.
Once it has cooked a few minutes, turn off the heat and set the mash aside.
Fry the eggs in a frying pan, doing whatever you would normally do to make fried eggs. Salt and pepper are good.
Spoon the hash into wide bowls or plates. Put a fried egg on top. Have another bloody mary really quick and then eat.
