Hash Brown Potato Pie
This sounds like a very easy recipe, and minimal cost as well, one of my must tries!
Ingredients
- 3 cups potatoes, shredded, see Step 2
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup spring onions, chopped, green and white parts
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- 4 slices bacon, diced and cooked
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C. Grease a 9 inch glass pie dish with butter.
- For your hash browns, wash, peel if you desire, then shred the potatoes. Take the shredded potatoes and rinse them in cold water, and really squeeze them to get the water out, do this 3-4 times until the water is clear, this removes the starch, then your potatoes are ready. You need 3 cups of shredded potatoes.
- Beat together eggs and milk in a large bowl, stir in potatoes, green onions, salt and pepper, and hot sauce. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese and half of bacon. Pour into the pie dish.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set (butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean). Sprinkle remaining bacon and cheese over top of pie, continue baking 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let rest for 5 minutes, serve.
Notes
Most expensive item is the cheese, about 180 Baht for a 200 gram block, this will provide 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese with some cheese left over, just use the whole block. This would cost about 90 cents per serving, excellent value.
