Potato Nests image

This is a cute breakfast idea for Easter Sunday. I must confess that I didn't make mine in muffin cups--I just used an 8 1/2 x 11" pan for the hash browns and egg and added the cooked bacon at the end. This is a simple recipe kids could help make. If you don't have savory seasoned hash browns--add your own seasonings. Recipe courtesy of Ore-Ida Foods.
