This casserole is a great make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish. I like to make it the night before and then just pop it in the oven in the morning. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover ham. I also like to add some chopped broccoli or cauliflower to the potatoes before baking. It's a healthy and delicious way to start your day.

This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would recommend using less cheese next time.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning. I also found it to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding some more milk or cream to the recipe.

This casserole was so easy to throw together and it turned out great! I used a pre-made hash brown casserole mix to save time and it still came out delicious. My husband and kids loved it.
