Shredded Potato Baskets With Cheese and Bacon

Shredded Potato Baskets With Cheese and Bacon

 

Ingredients:

1 (20 ounce) pkg Shredded Hash Browns
1 large egg
2 -3 tbsp flour
1 (12 ounce) pkg Shredded Cheddar Cheese
8 ounces Bacon, cooked and crumbled
 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 F. 

 

• Generously coat 2 6-compartment non-stick muffin tins with cooking spray. Set aside.

• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, egg and flour, adding just enough flour so mixture "sticks together". 
• Divide evenly among the prepared muffin compartments. Using the back of a spoon, firmly press potato mixture into bottom and up sides of each compartment, making a "well" in each.

• Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just starting to brown. 
• Remove from oven and divide shredded cheese evenly among cups and top each with crumbled bacon. 
• Return to oven and bake another 5-10 minutes or until "baskets" are golden brown and cheese and bacon is hot, melted and bubbly.

• Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.  

To serve: gently run the tip of a sharp knife blade around rim of each cup to loosen. Release each basket and place on serving platter.
 

Enjoy...
