OBRIEN HASHBROWNS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and brown the potatoes. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the potatoes to a 13 x 9-inch pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Layer the diced ham over the potatoes.
• In a large bowl, toss together all the cheeses, then layer the cheese mixture over the ham and potatoes.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, sour cream and Tabasco until smooth. Pour egg mixture over the potatoes, ham and cheese in the pan. Gently work the egg mixture into the potatoes.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the center is done (knife inserted comes out clean).

Steps:

• In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and just beginning to caramelize, 5-7 minutes.
• Do not allow the onion to scorch.
• Add the red and green peppers and saute until beginning to soften, 3-5 minutes longer.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside.
• Add 1/2 tablespoon each of the remaining butter and olive oil to the same pan.
• Add half of the cubed potatoes and cook, turning to brown all sides, 5-7 minutes.
• If the potatoes are too dry, add a little more butter or oil.
• Transfer the browned potatoes to the bowl holding the pepper mixture.
• Repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and potatoes.
• Return the mixture to the pan.
• Raise the heat to high so that it quickly warms through.
• Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the parsley and stir to combine.
• Return to the serving bowl and serve immediately.
