Ah, the wonderful potato. If I had any literary sense, I'd write an ode to this magnificent tuber. I always find it a delight - baked, boiled, roasted, or fried. Hash browns are no different, and while I enjoy a good heaping pile of hash browns, I thought adding a few extra ingredients and baking would be a fun way to "class it up." (Plus, I found this recipe on The Yummy Life.) Instead of letting them go the path alone, I figured adding green onions and pepper would bring something extra to the party. Toss in the potato's ever-stalwart companion, cheese, and the party seemed complete. Instead of tossing them in a frying pan with generous amounts of oil, I baked them. We enjoyed the soft, baked centers and crispy edges. Serve 'em up as appetizers or sides or simply enjoy them all by yourself! These little cups are fun by themselves, but feel free to accompany them with ketchup or whatever condiment you please!

What are some of your favorite has brown add ins?
