I doubled this recipe (leaving out the cottage cheese and adding some milk) for 7 twenty something boys (men?) to take on a trip to the lake. I made it and did not bake it just kept it refrigerated! They heated it up this morning for breakfast and I have had messages from all of them saying how good it was! So it gets my stamp of approval and anything that that many picky eaters will all chow down on is a winner in my book! Other than the cottage cheese the only change I made was to add some salt and pepper and some seasoned salt to the potatoes! Thanks for posting! Oh and I lied before I used bacon instead of sausage! Oops! :)

Awesome! Made this the night before and baked for Christmas morning breakfast. Everyone really enjoyed it! Very hearty and the potato crust makes it extra special. I used the optional breakfast sausage (recipe #250325) and the mixture filled up a 13x9 glass dish. Serving size is very generous. Used two large baking potatoes, shredded, for the crust. Great recipe, could be changed to suit what you have on hand and still be awesome. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I work as a professional stagehand for my local union (IATSE Local 26, West Michigan Stagehands), which takes me all over the state and lets me meet all sorts of interesting people. My primary training is in lighting and wardrobe, and I can be found backstage at everything from rock concerts to opera/ballet/symphony/Broadway tour performances to hockey games to corporate meetings and Presidential appearances. In June of 2005, my Local elected me to serve as a delegate to our International convention in mid-July, which was held in Honolulu. In November of 2008, I was elected to my third three-year term as Recording Secretary of my union local. Currently, I am the news poster for www.megatechnews, a computer tech site affiliated with several other tech sites.
My biggest passion is union activism. The more I get involved, the more I want to be involved. I also read like a fiend and enjoy "discovering" local or regional bands at local clubs.
Recently, I started making jewelry again after a more than ten-year hiatus. It started as a project for Christmas presents, but doing it reminded me how much I enjoy it, so I may be resurrecting my business soon. I never duplicate a piece, because the entire point is that I do custom work, and will take orders to suit. The pieces I have done are in a photo album on Facebook located here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=21364&id=1373365950&l=5be410742d
