Preheat a 4-square waffle iron to medium.
Place the hash browns in a bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper and mix to combine.
Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray. Place ⅓ cup hash browns into each of the 4 squares. Crack an egg over each hash brown and poke the yolk. Top with a slice of cheese, followed by a slice of ham, then divide the remaining hash brown mixture on top and close the waffle iron.
Cook until brown and crispy, 13 to 15 minutes. Turn off waffle iron and let waffles set up for about 2 minutes before removing with a spatula.
Serve with ketchup, if desired, or salad.
