Homemade Potato Breakfast Bake

I know what you are thinking, dude you grill you’re not a baker.  But let’s face it sometimes breakfast is just cooked in the house.  Now I do love to make sure I put my own manly twist on most Suzy-homemaker recipes, cause let’s face I like my love meat in my food.  Which leads me to my favorite breakfast to whip up, Homemade Potato Breakfast Bake.  (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own to make my life easier. You can buy them too through my online sales links.)

Plus there are times that breakfast for dinner (or brinner) is just the perfect way to end the day.  Now there are times when you could use frozen shredded hash browns but I like to use fresh potatoes as they tend to crisp a lot better than the frozen hash browns do.  Now I have to say this makes the perfect breakfast for the day after a sporting events, I often have buddys that crash at my place and well you gotta feed them the next morning.  This never disappointments.

Homemade Potato Breakfast Bake Directions

Wash your potatoes off

Shred your potatoes into strings.  I use a cheese grater to shred my potatoes and trust me I almost always wish at this point because it can be a long process.  Trust me it is totally worth it to do it this way.  I use a cheese grater with a collector on it.  Makes clean up a bit smoother and also easier to collect the potatoes.

Place your shredded potatoes on paper towels.  You need to allow them some time to dry and get the excess moisture out of them from being washed.  We also pressed down with an another paper towel to get out the excess water faster, we were starving so anything to help the process along.

In a big skillet fry pan, warm up some olive oil.  Start to brown your hash browns, I do mine in small batches rather than large batch all at once.  Salt and pepper to states as you are browning.

Spray 9X13 pan with a nonstick spray, I personally prefer to use Pyrex glass pans.  In my experience, everything seems to turn out amazing in them.  The one with the handles makes it easy to remove from the oven if you are clumsy like me!! Plus you can order one on Amazon so you don’t even have to leave the house, order, and then the UPS man is at the door when you use Amazon Prime 2 day delivery!  (Don’t have Prime? You NEED for easy online shopping!!)

As your hash browns are done start to place them in your baking dish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Once you are done browning the hashbrowns start to cook up your bacon in the pan and also warm up any of your other meats.  As your meat is done layer them on top of the cooked hash browns.

In a bowl beat together the dozen of eggs so all the yolks are broken

Pour the eggs over the meat and potatoes in the baking dishes

Top with cheese and bake about 25-35 minutes until egg is completely cooked and the cheese has melted.
