"All amount can be adjusted to taste. You can use cooked potatoes, finely cubed in place of the hash browns, just make certain that the potatoes are cold before browning them. This is really good!"

To the same skillet at in the thawed hash browns, cook stirring with a wooden spoon until lightly browned and tender.

Fabulous Kitz. The combination worked so well for us. So easy to put together too. I left out the jalapeno pepper but used jalapeno hot sauce in place of the tabasco. There was no mention of where the butter went so I added a little butter to a little of the bacon grease and it worked well. I will definately be making this again. Thanks sweetie.
