I live with my boyfriend and cooking for two is always a challenge for me. I'm constantly making too much food. This recipe is so tasty and can be easily made for two people! I used two 4-oz ramekins and reduced the recipe by a third on all the ingredients. I added about 1/8 cup of red and green peppers chopped and a little Parmesan cheese. I also read the other reviews and heated my hash browns on the stove top first with a little onion, salt and pepper before I baked the crust. I also topped with a little extra cheddar cheese and some fresh parsley about 5 minutes before it was done. It was really delicious!

I have been making a variation of this recipe for years. I use tater tots and crumble them for the crust(much cheaper). You can use any meat. I have even made this using spam. I brush the melted butter on the crust then bake it. I always use at least 6 eggs and more cheese.

Excellent starter recipe. Other ingredients to consider: Tomato (finely diced), Spinach, Mushrooms. But not too many ingredients at one time. My fav is ham, tomato, and mushrooms.

This turned out nicely, but I'm not sure if the potato crust is supposed to be crispy on the bottom...mine wasn't and I would have liked it to be! Perhaps it was because I drizzled olive oil on the hash browns (like others, I made them myself) instead of butter? This is a wonderful gluten free option and I'm looking forward to playing with this great basic recipe!

Delicious! Even my picky kids loved it - although I had to cut out the onions.

Made this for a brunch and it was well-received. Very tasty -- I made myself a second pie the next day! I shredded my own potatoes and didn't bother with rinsing or drying -- didn't even peel them and they were just fine. I used cooked bacon instead of ham and used an Italian blend of cheese from Safeway, since I didn't have any cheddar handy. It was delicious. I used only 4T of butter in the second pie and couldn't tell the difference. It's definitely not heart-friendly with all the butter, but mmm, mmm good. Next time I may try to add a bit more egg/milk and some spinach to make it a bit healthier. But will definitely keep this in the recipe rotation.

Loved this recipe - the seasoned salt adds a special something - increased the eggs like other reviewers suggested - excellent!

My family loved this, I thought so-so. I used hash browns with onions and green peppers. That was good, but I wish the crust had been at least twice as thick. I added more eggs as suggested, and I added some pepperjack cheese. All were good additions. Maybe cooking it longer could have done the trick. However, this is a great use of leftover ham and I always have plenty of that at Christmas.
