    Potato Breakfast Muffins are fast, easy and tasty! A crust of frozen hash browns, with cheese, bacon, ham or sausage and any vegetables you desire!

    We keep frozen hash browns in our freezer just so I can make these Potato Breakfast Muffins whenever I want to!  I never know when I will need to make some of these delicious breakfast or brunch treats for my family or a crowd!  When Patrick, my son was small, these were so easy for him to make with me and eat too!  Now he either requests these muffins or makes them for himself!You can use any vegetable you have on hand or desire!  I usually include onions and/or peppers, it all depends on what I have in my fridge.  At times, I have only included vegetables and some cheese of course!  I don't think I have ever made these without cheese now that I think about it!

    Same goes for meat, if you choose to include it. You can use diced and cooked ham, sausage or bacon! Any combination works!  Use your favorites or whatever you have around!  

    If you are looking for something different to do for breakfast or brunch then these Potato Breakfast Muffins could be exactly what you are looking for!  The hash brown crust is what makes them great!  Well, that is my favorite part.  I love crispy potatoes, probably too much!has

      Absolutely delicious! I didn't have hash browns so used chopped frozen, seasoned french fries instead and it worked great! Also added chopped frozen spinach in addition to the bell pepper and onion, and as I have an herb garden, finely chopped parsley, chives and dill in the egg mixture along with smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Yum! I will make this over and over!
