This hearty shredded potato casserole is made with hash brown potatoes, ham, peas, eggs, onions, and cheese. Serve for an easy weeknight dinner the family will love.
What’s better than potatoes and ham for dinner? I suspect this recipe was originally dreamed up as a way to use up leftovers around the house and turn out a decent dinner for hungry farm hands.
This is a versatile recipe as you could substitute beef or chicken in place of the ham or use corn instead of the peas. I used frozen shredded hash brown potatoes in this version, but you could also grate raw peeled potatoes and it would turn out just fine.
One of the things I found interesting is this recipe does not call for a cream soup. Next time I make this I may experiment with adding a can of cream of chicken soup as it will help thicken the sauce.
This recipe is from my mom’s recipe box collection.
