Cheezy Oven Baked Hashbrowns



Being married to a potato farmer, I could say I cook lots of potatoes, but that's not always true. I do love to experiment with potaotes though. Here's a fun new recipe I made (no exact measurements yet): Saute green onions and garlic in olive oil or butter. Grate potatoes into hashbrowns. Squeeze out exess water from hashbrowns. Mix into potatoes: onion-garlic mixture, finely cubed ham (or cooked bacon), sharp cheddar cheese, soft butter, garlic salt, pepper, and chili powder. I used my mini fluted bunt mold. I filled each mold and then sprinkled parmasean cheese and paprika on top. You could also use a silpat. When using a silpat, take a scoop and shape it into a round patty. Place on Demarle silpat. Bake @ 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes in mini mold. If using a silpat bake for 20 minutes and flip over. Cook for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown. These were oh so yummy!
