SHREDDED POTATO BREAKFAST BAKE

Recipe by The Leek & The Carrot

Serves 6-8
Takes 1 hour (most of it inactive)

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3-4 cups shredded potatoes
1-2 green peppers, diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 pound breakfast sausage, browned**
8 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 cup favorite cheese (I used a lovely dill havarti)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Grease a 9×13 casserole dish with olive oil.

  3. Combine potatoes, peppers, onion and pork sausage in prepared casserole dish. Toss to combine.

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Add hot sauce, mustard powder, and salt. Pour evenly over potato mixture.

  5. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the eggs are set. Add cheese and cook 5 minutes longer just to melt (or lightly brown).

  6. Enjoy!

**If you are vegetarian, feel free to substitute in mushrooms for the sausage. I’d recommend using 16-20 ounces of the most flavorful mushrooms you can find (shittake is my favorite choice!) and adding in a couple cloves of garlic, a tablespoon of dried sage and a pinch or two of red pepper flakes while sautéing them.
