Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the cabbage, grate the carrot, and dice the onion.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Add the grated carrot and chopped cabbage to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Mash the cooked potatoes in a bowl and then add them to the skillet with the vegetables. Mix well to combine.

Increase the heat to medium-high and press the mixture down into the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.

Using a spatula, flip the mixture over in sections and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the other side is also golden and crispy.

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry to your desired doneness (about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up).
