Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • 16 ounces frozen hash browns*
  • 8 ounces (2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, plus more to serve
  • Salsa, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9″ x 13″ casserole dish.
  2. Finely dice the bell pepper. Thinly slice the green onions.
  3. Add the frozen hash browns, chopped pepper and green onion, and shredded cheese to the casserole pan and mix to combine. Sprinkle with the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin and 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt over the veggie mix and stir to combine.
  4. In large bowl, whisk the eggs. Then whisk in the milk, sour cream and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt until fully combined (small dots of sour cream are ok). Pour the egg mixture over vegetables, then gently tap it down with a whisk to get everything evenly distributed.
  5. Bake 50 to 55 minutes until eggs are set (insert a knife and check to make sure it is cooked through). Rest 5 minutes before slicing into pieces and serving. Leftovers save well: refrigerate for up to 5 days and serve them cold, room temperature, or warmed. (Make ahead info: Assemble the casserole, then cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, bake as instructed in the recipe. You may need a few extra minutes in the oven.)

Notes

*Or, use 2 medium russet potatoes (1 pound). Wash the potatoes, leaving the skins on. Use the large side of a box grater or a food processor large grating blade to grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes into a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Tip the bowl to drain off starchy water, then fill it again. Stir the potatoes to release starches soak them for 2 minutes. Drain the grated potatoes and squeeze out any excess water. Transfer them to a clean, dry towel. Wring the potatoes in the towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
