Ingredients:
2 Large potatoes
1 Onion or 4 shallots
1 tsp Paprika
1 Egg
1 tbsp Zaatar
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Method:
1. Peel the potatoes and then grate the potato and onion into a large bowl. (If you are using shallots slice them very finely instead)

3. Place back in the bowl, add the paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well.
4. Add the egg and beat it into the mixture.
5. Put oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. When the oil is hot, mould the potato mixture into a round shape and place in the pan. Allow to cook for 4 minutes on each side.

7. When the hash browns are golden and crispy on both sides, serve and drizzle the zaatar oil over them.
