  1. Perfect for Saturday morning here in blizzardly Iowa. I will no doubt have 3+ large starving teen-age "men" to feed for breakfast, and an errant package of hash browns in the freezer will pull this all together! Now if Arlene and Rochelle (my laying hens) could pop out a few more eggs....

  2. This sounds like a wonderful Saturday morning breakfast here...the kids love a hot breakfast when they're not hurrying off to school and I have time to make it after the morning milking!

  4. Sounds great for a Saturday lunch or afternoon snack. I do not keep hash browns in freezer but will add to my list. Often on a Saturday I will make a quiche in the same way. I use eggs,milk, cheese and whatever appropriate meats/veggies I have in the fridge. I used to use purchased pie crusts but homemade taste so much better. I now keep a bunch in freezer, frozen in individual discs, and they thaw out in no time.
    Thanks girls for all of the wonderful recipes and inspiration.

  5. Anneliese, I have a similar recipe...but I'm liking yours better. My recipe does not include frying the potatoes first in a stovetop pan, it goes straight into the oven. And one of my biggest problems of making this quiche is that the top gets overdone b/c I'm trying to make sure the potatoes get cooked. Your method should take care of that problem...thanks so much for sharing!

  17. Great recipe...I altered mine a little. I fried up 6 strips of bacon first and then in the bacon fat fried up my hashbrowns....this seemed to help add some more flavor :)

    1. I've never cooked it in a crock pot, but you could try it on high setting. Be sure to spray or butter the pot well before adding the ingredients. I do not know how long it would take. It may take 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
