Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

Blackberry-Yogurt Spread:

  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon blackberry jam

Latkes:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded hash brown potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes®)

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup canola oil

Filling:

  • 10 ounces ground breakfast sausage (such as Jimmy Dean® Maple Sausage)

  • 2 slices Cheddar cheese

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Mix Greek yogurt and blackberry jam together in a bowl until spread is smooth; refrigerate.

  2. Place potatoes in cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible. Combine potatoes, flour, beaten egg, and salt together in a bowl until thoroughly mixed. Divide potato mixture into 4 equal portions and form into 4-inch patties.

  3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook potato patties in the hot oil until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Remove latkes from oil and place on a cooling rack, reserving oil in the skillet.

  4. Form breakfast sausage into two 5-ounce patties. Cook patties in the same skillet until browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. The internal temperature should be 160 degrees F (73 degrees C). Transfer patties to the cooling rack and top each with Cheddar cheese.

  5. Heat a non-stick skillet and add 2 tablespoons reserved heated oil. Crack 2 eggs into heated oil and cook for about 5 minutes.

  6. Spread blackberry spread onto 2 of the latkes; top with sausage-Cheddar cheese. Add 1 latke to the Cheddar cheese layer of each, creating a sandwich. Top each sandwich with an egg; season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

Give your latkes a bit more flavor by adding chopped onion or chives.
