Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel, wash, and dry the potatoes. Grate them finely and mix with one grated onion. Squeeze out excess liquid.
  2. Grate the carrot and chop the garlic. Add to the potato mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Mix in the egg and flour to form a dough.
Cooking Hash Browns
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the pan and shape it into a circle.
  2. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side.
  3. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make approximately six large hash browns and set aside.
Preparing the Filling
  1. Cut the chicken fillet into small cubes and fry them in a separate pan with oil, seasoning with salt, dried garlic, and curry until browned and cooked through.
  2. Melt butter in another pan and sauté the chopped onions until translucent. Add chopped mushrooms and cook until golden.
  3. Pour in the cream and let it simmer until it thickens. Combine with the cooked chicken, then stir in chopped green onions and grated mozzarella until melted.
Assembly
  1. Take one hash brown, place filling on one half, top with cheese, and fold other half over. Repeat with remaining hash browns.
  2. Place filled hash browns on a baking sheet, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
  3. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

Remove excess liquid from grated potatoes to prevent sogginess. You can prepare the filling ahead of time and assemble the hash browns later.
