Ingredients:

  • 3 medium baked red potatoes, chilled, peeled and grated into hash browns (you can use 3 cups thawed frozen hash browns, but i really prefer to make my own and it''s really so easy)
  • salt , garlic and pepper to taste
  • mix ingredients together; press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of 6 heavily buttered deep custard cups (i used my non-stick popover tins). i feel that the butter helped release my hash brown cups better than cooking spray would have, but you can try the spray if you prefer. i also think the butter helped brown the hash browns as they baked. don''tsp press the hash browns too thin, or you''ll have trouble releasing the finished product.
  • bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until the hash browns begin to brown.
  • 6 sausage links (i used 4 precooked patties, diced)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup grated cheese of your choice (i used a mexican cheese blend)
  • any other filling choices you may want, but remember you have limited space in the hash brown cups
  • fry the sausage , onion and red pepper in about a tbsp of butter until cooked through.
  • layer the meat mixture in the bottom of the partially cooked hash brown cups.
  • sprinkle the cheese over the meat mixture. top with egg filling.
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup additional grated cheese of your choice (i used a mexican cheese blend)
  • whisk together the egg mixture (except the additional cheese) and pour over the meat and cheese layer in each hash brown cup - don''tsp overfill, as this filling will puff up while baking and you don''tsp want it to overrun the sides of the baking dishes. top with more grated cheese.

Directions:

  1. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until eggs are done. Run a sharp knife through the center of one of the cups to check for done-ness - there should be no “runny” filling on the knife. Remove cups from oven and allow to set for about 5 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the outside of each hash brown cup, loosening up any hash brown pieces that may have stuck to the baking dish. I found the easiest way to get them out of the baking cups was to turn them upside down over a plate and they just slipped out. When I tried to dig them out with a knife, some of the hash browns wanted to stay behind in the baking cups. Top with chives or dices green onions just before serving. Leftovers heated up very nicely in the microwave! I think you could easily freeze these, also.
  2. There are limitless variations to this basic recipe - ham and finely diced mushrooms with gruyere cheese, bacon with onion and sharp cheddar - adding ingredients for a Mexican theme, like chorizo for the meat and some seeded, diced jalapeno pepper or canned diced green chilies, some diced chipotle peppers, so many ingredients you could add for that taste! How about an Italian theme with Italian sausage as the meat with some chopped pepperoni, some diced yellow or orange pepper, some Italian seasoning, maybe some finely diced roasted garlic? Lots of possibility here!
