Printer-friendly version

INGREDIENTS:
4 cups frozen potatoes O'Brien with onions and peppers (from 24-oz bag)
1 1/2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend (6 oz)
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt-free garlic-herb blend
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce
5 slices precooked bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1/4 cup)
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
DIRECTIONS:
1. Spray 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Spread potatoes evenly in baking dish. Add cheese; stir gently to mix.
2. In medium bowl, beat eggs thoroughly with wire whisk. Add milk, garlic-herb blend, salt and pepper sauce; beat until well blended. Pour over potato-cheese mixture. Top with bacon. Cover; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
3. When ready to serve, heat oven to 350°F. Uncover baking dish; bake 30 minutes.
4. Remove baking dish from oven. Separate dough into 4 rectangles. If desired, with small canapé cutters, cut out a few shapes from each rectangle. Carefully place rectangles over hot potato mixture so corners of rectangles meet in center; do not seal seams. Carefully press edges to sides of baking dish. Place cut-out shapes on top of rectangles.
5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender and crust is deep golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
