Instructions

In a medium bowl add the potatoes, salt, pepper, red pepper, and 1 cup of cheese and mix until combined.
Dived the potato mixture into the cups and pressed them down forming nests. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bottoms are brown.

Notes

1. Make sure you use the refrigerated hash browns like Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, they are located in the egg section of your local grocery store

2. I use pepper jack and cheddar cheese but you can use whatever combination you want. I do recommend shredding your own cheese and not using the pre-shredded cheese.

3. Check the hash brown cups using a fork to lift up the side. If they aren't brown enough add a few more minutes of cooking time.
