Hash Brown Potato Cups

Let's face it, anything in muffin tins or individual cups are more fun! These hash brown cups are so versatile you can make them the way you like it. I added spinach and small diced tomatoes to mine. Here is the guideline of ingredients and method...of course do what works for you.

  • 1 20 oz bag of refrigerated shredded hash browns, (or 3 cups shredded potatoes, or frozen hash browns thawed)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, (or more to taste)
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, then I shredded it
  • 1 small tomato, diced 
  • 1 tsp seasoning (I use a Tuscany blend, Costco's Organic No-Salt Seasoning is good for this too)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Cheddar cheese (to top after it bakes)
  • Now here is where you can use what you like...a little spicy add some red pepper flakes, or add some green onions, onions, or onion powder....or sausage! Chopped chives or any fresh herbs for garnish.


Preheat the oven to 400°F.  Prepare a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Press into the prepared muffin tins. If you are adding a lot of toppings or an egg save some room for that. If adding and egg you can crack an egg and add it to the top before baking.

 


Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and add some cheddar cheese and place it back in the oven until the cheese melts and is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let them rest a little. Slide a knife around the edges to make sure they will come out of the tins.
Top with your choice of topping, bacon, scrambled eggs, sour cream, chives....we actually liked them like this...except my daughter who puts sour cream on everything!
