Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (8 ounces)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plus more for serving
1/2 cup sliced scallions (from about 4), plus more for serving
4 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces bacon (about 8 slices)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

In a medium pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water; cook 10 minutes. Drain; let cool completely. Combine cheese, Dijon, yogurt, and scallions in a large bowl.
Peel potatoes; grate into large shreds (about 6 cups). Fold potatoes, broccoli, eggs, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper into cheese mixture. Cover with plastic; refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in top third. In a large oven-proof skillet, cook bacon over medium-high until crisp, about 8 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain. Add butter to skillet; when it foams, add potato mixture. Press to form an even layer and cook, scraping sides with a spatula to prevent burning, until it starts to set, about 8 minutes. Transfer to oven; bake until golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly. Crumble bacon on top and serve, with sliced scallions and yogurt.

HASH BROWN CASSEROLE WITH BACON AND CHEDDAR

Hash Brown Casserole With Bacon and Cheddar image

Wonderful for a weekend brunch. My whole family absolutely loves it. Lots of flavor from the onions, chives, and bell pepper. There are lots of variations of this recipe but I like that this one uses milk instead of sour cream or cream cheese which are high in fat and this one still has just as much flavor. It came from Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook that a friend got me for Christmas. I only switch the whole milk to 1 % and keep the skillet at medium-low instead of low when making the sauce. Can easily be doubled to serve more people. When I do, I use a 12 oz package of bacon and a 1 lb 14 oz bag of hash browns since that's what they usually come in anyways. Also, the easiest way to snip the chives is with kitchen scissors. So much faster than with a knife! Enjoy!
