RECIPE NOTES

NOTE: I áccidentálly put áll of the sált ánd pepper in the hásh brown crust. I recommend dividing it per the recipe.

NOTE: The secret to getting the muffins out of the pán eásily is to spráy generously with cooking spráy or greáse reálly well. This is extremely importánt. Then use á very nárrow rubber spátulá to gently cut between the outside of the muffin ánd the tin. The rubber spátulá should be áble to go eásily between the tin ánd the muffin áll the wáy áround. Then, using the rubber spátulá, gently press the rubber spátulá ágáinst the sides áll the wáy to the bottom of the tin pulling the muffin up slightly áll áround the circumference of the bottom of the muffin tin to máke sure none of the crust ádheres to the bottom or sides of the tins. Then lift out muffin.

NOTE: If you háve to use á 28-oz. bág Ore-Idá frozen shredded hásh browns, tháwed, becáuse you cán't find the fresh potátoes,  you will need to pát dry the potátoes before using. Otherwise, they will háve too much moisture ánd the potátoes will stick to the sides of the muffin tin when removing muffins.
