Hash browns are a cousin to potato pancakes... shredded spuds fried in
heaps so they hold together, ordinarilly served as a side with eggs,
not mixed into eggs. You'd fare much better with home fries in an
omelet/caserole. I do similar caseroles all the time, usually for
dinner, only I do them on the stove top in a 12" pan with a dozen eggs
(makes us two meals each), do the home fries first, then add whatever
else and add the beaten eggs, and the cheese last. I typically do the
frying with half olive oil and butter... it's really a fritatta. All
done in one pan and don't have to light the oven. Just use low heat
to prevent burn.... takes time but it's not a dish that needs much
watching. There's really no recipe other than for the method, use
whatever ingredients strike your fancy... good for using up leftovers
sitting in your fridge.
There's absolutely nothing new or unique about such a dish.... don't
even need a kitchen, any hobo can do this over a campfire... don't
even need a pan, any old tin can will suffice.
I think it's sad to say you're gonna save that recipe, it's NOT a
recipe!
