Ingredients:
3 cups frozen shredded potatoes
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup finely chopped cooked ham
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
Thaw potatoes between layers of paper towels to remove excess
moisture. Press potatoes into bottom and up sides of an ungreased
9-inch pieplate; drizzle with butter. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes
or until lightly browned; cool on a wire rack 10 minutes.
Combine ham, cheese, and bell pepper; spoon into potato shell.
Combine eggs and next 3 ingredients, stirring well; pour egg mixture
over ham mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until set;
let stand 10 minutes before serving.
