Shredded Potatoes

So I’m on kind of a breakfast kick lately. Which should actually come as no surprise to you since I do not try to hide the fact that I am basically in love with breakfast. Pizza, burgers, tacos, cake, and bourbon are all acceptable.

Anything goes in the morning! Especially if you #putaneggonit

Shredded Potatoes with Cherry Tomatoes

Earlier this week we made Hawaiian Overnight Oats because sometimes mornings are cah-rayzayyy. And today I have these Make Ahead Breakfast Bakes!

These are easy and totally customizable — you’re gonna love ’em.

Make Ahead Breakfast Bakes ready for the oven

I peeled and then shredded a big baking potato with the help of a few of my favorite KitchenIQ tools (you can click to see my Potato Tool Review  and this V-Etched Container Grater that I use every day of my life), put ’em in a muffin cup, and then added a few of my favorite veggies, a little cheese, and some lightly beaten eggs.

These things freeze well and microwave easily. Or they are great if you need to like… feed a soccer team at a 7 a.m. game or ward off hungry children at a sleepover.

Make Ahead Breakfast bakes with Homemade Hash Browns

You can get really creative with the flavor profiles here, just like you can with any omelet or egg dish.

Instead of the tomato + pepper + onion + cheddar you could try…

  • diced tomato + onion + spinach + feta
  • broccoli + cheddar
  • bacon + spinach + cheddar jack
  • mushrooms + onions + baby swiss
  • ham + your favorite cheese
  • crumbled sausage and cheddar

is also a Sugar Dish Me reader fave! If you love biscuits, bacon, and cheese this casserole is everything. It can be assembled and refrigerated overnight making it perfect for any early morning gathering. Cheesy Hash Brown Breakfast Sliders are a big win with teenage boys. And husbands. Also me.

I made this using thawed shredded hashbrowns(ore-ida). I added onion, bell peppers, sausage, (ground small cooked) and a small can of diced green chilies. They were delicious. Next time I make them I will cook the hashbrowns abit longer so they are more crispy .

This sounds amazing! I really want to make these, but I was wondering... what if I can't find cheddar? I live in the Netherlands, so the only cheddar that is readily available is the squared one that you use in burgers and sandwiches :( I'm guessing this recipe calls for the dry one with the strong flavour. What other cheese can I use instead of cheddar?

Cheese is amazing Karen. You can really just use your favorite one! They'll turn out. ?

Just made my first batch - so delicious - they puff up just like you said. I added cheese and salsa verde to mine, will try spinach, mushrooms and salsa next time. Thanks for a great recipe. The potatoes on the bottom are a game changer!!
