Easter is around the corner, and like any holiday, I’m all about easy-to-make overnight meals. This no-fuss Easter brunch dish can be prepped the night before and then just pop it in the oven the morning of, leaving you more time for Easter baskets and egg hunts. At least that’s how it’s going to go in my home.
Easter is second to Christmas when it comes to surprises for my boys. I’m a sucker and love any opportunity for guilt-free spoiling. Nevermind that my fifteen year old still plays along and will tell me what the Easter Bunny should bring him–see what I mean by guilt-free spoiling now? But gulp, he just got his driving permit, so his asks might be way big this year!
Whatever it may be, I’m going to squeeze every bit of holiday mileage I can because he’s growing up way too fast. Thank goodness he has two little brothers to play along for, so that fast-approaching adulthood is tempered just slightly. But I know one day, the Easter Bunny, like Santa, will pass by my house, but until then – the rule is: You have to believe to receive, even if it’s just so I don’t have to let go yet.
Here’s to a no-fuss Easter dish and another year of Easter baskets and egg hunts.

What type of potatoes did you use for this? The recipe is very, very unclear and confusing. Thanks.

I don’t understand the “hash browns (not frozen)” ingredient? Are you talking about just grated potatoes — cooked? raw? Or are you talking about actual hash browns that have already been cooked (potatoes made into hash browns)? Or are you talking frozen hash browns from a bag that are thawed? This looks great, but not sure about the potato base. Help. Thanks.

I really don’t understand how he just stated this either without explaining what it meant. The pictures look like shredded potatoes, that were never browned, therefore not hash browns. I don’t know anyone who sells shredded potatoes, browned or not, unless they are frozen, except for restaurants and they are already cooked. Make my own version of what I consider hash browns? Buy frozen hash browns and let them thaw? Then I would have expected him to say ‘hash browns, thawed’? Go to Waffle House or IHOP and get a triple order of hash browns?

The instructions make absolutely no sense! Never did receive a reply to my question, obviously. Sad, as this looked interesting.

I think you just thaw out the frozen hash
browns so they cook well with the other ingredients. Cooking frozen & unfrozen ingredients together leads to uneven results.Reply

Look in the dairy section, thats where the nonfrozen hasbrowns are.
