Ingredients

8 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
6 tablespoons butter, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 cup diced sweet onion
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup whole milk

Directions

1

Gently squeeze potatoes to remove excess water. Melt 5 tablespoons butter; add to potatoes along with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Press in bottom and up sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate to form a crust. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until edges are browned. Cool to room temperature.
2

In a saucepan over medium heat, saute the onion and red pepper in remaining butter until tender, about 6-8 minutes. Spoon into crust; sprinkle with cheese. Combine the eggs, milk and remaining salt; pour over onion mixture.
