Delicious modifications
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great, easy and fast recipe. I added some sausage and broccoli in order to make it more substantial but used only... half the amount of butter. Turned out really well. Will make it againRead more

Dana--breakfast or dinner.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe, particularly for a cold day; nice comfort food. Dana, this would be fine for breakfast depending on... your egg casserole. Eggs by themselves would be great with it. As for a casserole, if it's primarily eggs and not heavy with chese, etc., I think that would work. Read more

delicous, even with less butter
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family absolutely love this!! We use leftover mashed potatoes, made from scratch. Since I use butter to make those we... only use about 3 Tbsp of butter in this recipe and it's still delicous! We have it often when company comes over.Read more

Breakfast Potato?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Would this recipe be good to use for breakfast with a egg casserole or is this something you'd make for dinner? Thanks!

Not low cal, but great taste!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love all these indgredients separately, but put them together and they're even better! I used more mashed potatoes on the... bottom than called for to make the proportions in favor of the potato side. Came out great.Read more
