Are you looking for a side dish that you can prepare ahead of time? Brunch potatoes pair well with ham, roasts or even on a brunch menu. These can be prepared the night before and put in the oven the following day.
Brunch Potatoes
A delicious side dish for any brunch which can be prepared ahead and baked later
- 13 x 9 inch pan
- 2 16 oz bags of frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese (I like to use pepper jack instead)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp thyme (optional)
- 3/4 cup french fried onions (optional for a topping)
- 1/2 cup chopped bacon (optional for a mix in or a topping)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl mix shredded potatoes with half of the cheese
In another large bowl whisk eggs, add milk, sour cream and butter until well mixed. Add parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Add potato/cheese mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix well. Spoon into baking dish.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of the potatoes. I like add french fried onions.
Bake for 50-55 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
