Duckfat Hashbrowns 

1. Peel and coarsely grate potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and rinse away excess starch. Drain well and wring dry in paper towels. Place potatoes in a 5–6 quart Dutch oven with duck fat (barely warm or cold). Heat to medium and gently cook for about 5 minutes until just tender (no browning). Remove with a spider strainer, drain on paper towels, season lightly with salt. Sprinkle with potato starch or cornstarch, toss gently to coat. Shape into oval “pucks” and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. Reserve duck fat for frying later. Heat reserved duck fat to 375°F (190°C). Fry frozen hash browns about 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a wire rack; season if needed.

Sausage Patties

1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until emulsified. Portion into 2.5 oz (70g) balls, shape into patties. Refrigerate until ready to cook.

McGriddle Cakes

1. Bring maple syrup to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cook 5 - 7 minutes until 255 - 260°F (124–127°C). Pour onto parchment or Silpat, cool until safe to handle. Cut into pea-sized pieces, roll into 5 - 7 small balls per McGriddle cake.
2. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk milk, egg, and melted butter in another bowl. Combine wet and dry ingredients; whisk until smooth. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high; grease a 3.5” ring mold. Add 1–2 tsp butter, then pour batter to fill ⅓ of mold. Press in 5–7 maple candy balls until submerged. Cook 2–3 minutes until bottom is browned and releases from mold. Remove mold, flip, brush with maple syrup, cook 2–3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batch. 

Eggs

1. Whisk eggs until smooth and melt butter in a 12” nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in a thin layer of egg; cook until 90 percent set. Place pepper jack in center; fold right, left, top, bottom to form a square. Flip to seal. Repeat with remaining eggs.

Sausage Patties 

1. Heat skillet over medium-high. Cook patties 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
