Easy, very flavorful, a family favorite. Use frozen hash browns to make it super-quick to prepare
Ingredients
  • 3 cups peeled and shredded potatoes or 1 4.2 oz carton dehydrated potatoes
  • 1 10-oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles, medium
  • (Rotel or Hatch select)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup minced onion or 2 tbsp dehydrated onion
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp pepper
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
  2. If using dehydrated potatoes, re-hydrate per package directions and drain. If also using dehydrated onion, include it in this process.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except cheese. Mix well.
  4. Place potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Take the foil off if you like a crispy crust on top (I do.) and bake for 30 more minutes. If you like your potatoes soft throughout, leave the foil on and cook for 30 more minutes. (1 hour total)
  6. If you left the foil on, remove it. Top with shredded cheese, and bake 10 more minutes.
