Make the night before when you have a house full of company staying the night. It'll be ready when you wake up in the morning. All you'll have to do when you get up is make some coffee.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a really flavorful breakfast. I think the addition of peppers and onions to the O'Brien potatoes makes it really good. We all know potatoes + anything = wonderful!

    I make this for our family when we are up at the cabin for holiday weekends. It's nice to not have to prepare a huge breakfast in the morning. Just turn it on before you go to bed and it's ready when you wake up. Hope you enjoy!!
