Ingredients

  • Crust ingredients:
  • 1 large or 2 small/medium size russet potatoes*
  • 2 tbsp. butter melted
  • Filling ingredients:
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • several slices of red onion for garnish optional
  • 2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 5-6 cremini mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces of grated cheddar cheese
  • 5 eggs
  • ¼ cup half & half
  • ¼ cup of plain full fat greek yogurt
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • dash cayenne pepper
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Crust instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degree
  • Grate potatoes and then rinse in bowl of cold water several times
  • Drain well squeezing out excess water
  • I like to use my potato ricer for that but if you don't have one just squeeze out as much water as you can and dry on paper towels
  • Press hash browns in 9 inch pie plate and drizzle with 2 tbsp. of melted butter
  • Bake in 375 degree oven approximately 20-25 minutes until firm and lightly browned
  • Filling instructions:
  • Saute onion, garlic, and mushrooms with ½ tbsp. of butter & 1 tbsp. of olive oil over medium high heat about 7-8 minutes
  • Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to mushrooms as sautéing.
  • Remove from heat and set aside
  • Meanwhile in large bowl combine eggs, half & half, greek yogurt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt and beat until smooth. Fold in mushrooms and cheddar cheese
  • Pour into prepared hash brown crust.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven about 30-35 minutes until set and lightly browned

Notes

* you could also use frozen hash browns for the crust(I used 6-8 ounces for crust) if you are trying to save time.
I have made it both ways and it was good.
