Feel free to post your own thoughts and concerning and personal modifications to this very basic recipe.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil
7 -8 potatoes, grated and squeezed of excess liquid
12 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
16 ounces colby-monterey jack cheese (tasty possibilities) or 16 ounces mozzarella cheese (tasty possibilities)
sliced black olives (optional)
bacon (crumbled) (optional)
diced ham (optional)
sliced smoked sausage (optional)
bulk pork sausage (optional)
bell pepper (optional)
sliced mushrooms (optional)
white onions, optional (optional) or red onion (optional)

Steps:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet at medium-high heat.
Add the potatoes and use your spatula to make sure the potatoes are fairly evenly coated with oil.
Lightly grease a 13 X 9 baking pan.
Let the potatoes cook about 5-7 minutes. Check the bottom. If the bottom of the potatoes is brown, turn the potatoes. Leave the potatoes to cook another 5-7 minutes, and then recheck them. Make sure you keep the turning to a minimum.
Beat the 12 eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper and beat together.
When the potatoes have been thoroughly cooked, remove them from the pan and arrange them evenly on the bottom of the 13 X 9 baking pan.
Pour the egg mixture over the top.
Add any of the optional ingredients.
Cover with the cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips:

Use a large casserole dish to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly and does not overflow.
If you do not have a large casserole dish, you can cook the casserole in two batches.
Grate the cheese yourself for a fresher and more flavorful taste.
Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor profile.
Do not overcook the casserole, as this will make it dry and rubbery.
Serve the casserole hot with a side of your favorite salad or vegetables.

This cheese, egg, and potato casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and eggs, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium.
