Hash Brown and Bacon Bake Recipe

When I was in the states, the friend I was staying with loved to cook up some traditional american style recipes using potatoes or hash browns. This is one that I loved and she made it either using hash browns or potoatoes. You can make this whatever way you like and it will still taste great.

INGREDIETNS:

4 cups cooked potatoes - grated
10 bacon rashes - cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup buttermilk (can use normal)
1/3 cup onion - chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
cracked black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (can use crushed instead)
1 tablespoon butter - melted
1/2 teaspoon paprika

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 180C.
In a large bowl place all ingredients except butter and paprika. Combine together.
Transfer to a 9 inch pie plate that has been lightly greased.
Drizzle the butter over the top of mixture and sprinkle with the paprika.
Bake for approx 40 - 45 minutes or until lightly brown on top.
