Add at least 3 inches of water, and a tablespoon of white vinegar, to a large skillet over medium high heat. Bring the water close to a boil, where small bubbles have formed and are rising to the surface and popping.
Crack an egg into a fine mesh strainer to remove the more watery portion of the whites. Transfer egg to a small bowl. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Gently tip the eggs into the hot water, one at a time, leaving enough room between the eggs that the whites don't touch. I recommend only poaching 4 eggs at a time.
Place lid on the pan and set the timer for 3 minutes and 30 seconds for large eggs.
Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from the water in the order that you added them to the water. Test for doneness by gently poking the white. If you want them more cooked, dip them back in for 15 to 30 seconds. Place on paper towel to drain. Keep water on low to reheat eggs before plating.

Add about ¼ inch of vegetable oil to a 12 inch cast iron skillet, or other large skillet. Heat to 350°F, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the oil begins to bubble steadily. (if it bubbles A LOT, turn heat down and let cool down for 10 minutes).
Carefully add 4 frozen hash brown patties, in a single layer, to the skillet. Fry 8 to 10 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through. Use a slotted fish spatula to remove to a paper towel lined plate. Season with salt.

Reheat eggs by dipping each egg in reserved hot water for 30 to 60 seconds. Place back on paper towel lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.
Place 2 hash browns on a plate. Cut avocados in half and remove pit. In a bowl, use a fork to mash the avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Place a scoop of mashed avocado on each hash brown patty. Place a poached egg on top garnish with more salt and pepper and chopped chives. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Dig in and enjoy!

Homemade hash brown patties give you the crispiest, freshest flavor. They can be made ahead and frozen, then reheated in the air fryer.
Frozen hash brown patties are convenient and also work well.
Always mash avocado just before serving.
Store cooked patties up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for 1 month. Reheat in air fryer or skillet.
Place other toppings on the table for everyone to make their own hash brown avocado toast try thinly sliced vegetables such as radishes and jalapeños, crumbly cheese such as feta or Cotija, seeds and nuts, or anything else you can think of.
