Breakfast Mashed Potato Casserole.
Yes.
It’s a thing.
A rich, hearty, carb-y, so good you can hardly believe it, magical, magical thing.
It’s also SUPER easy and loaded with breakfast sausage, mashed potatoes, cream cheese, sour cream, crispy panko, and gooey eggs.
Brunch. PERFECTION.
Can I make a suggestion?
Whether you have your Easter brunch planned already or not, you MUST add this Breakfast Mashed Potato Casserole Recipe to your menu.
Trust me.
Ok? 🙂
You guys. I am SUPER pumped for today’s recipe.
Not only does it taste incredible, it’s also one of the easiest recipes I’ve posted on Show Me the Yummy, which makes me super happy.
And it all starts with Idahoan Signature™ Russets Mashed Potatoes, as all incredibly easy and delicious recipes should. 😉
Boil water –> stir in potatoes –> watch them magically turn into the fluffiest (literally) mashed potatoes –> stir in cream cheese + sour cream (because that’s how I grew up eating them) –> set aside.
I could just stop right there and be totally satisfied, but I wanted to make these mashed potatoes breakfast-y, so we can all stuff our faces with them for Easter brunch.
SO.
Now, in an oven safe skillet, you’re going to cook some breakfast sausage.
Once that’s cooked, you’ll top the sausage with the mashed potatoes.
Then, if that wasn’t indulgent and delicious enough, you’re going to top the potatoes with panko and parmesan.
Bake it for a bit –> make some indents into the potatoes –> crack eggs into the indents –> bake again until the eggs are perfectly runny and the panko is crispy. I’d suggest watching the video above. 👆
That’s it!
Like I said, this Breakfast Mashed Potato Casserole Recipe is seriously easy and seriously delicious.
And because it’s SO easy and delicious, this would be p.e.r.f.e.ct. for Easter brunch.
Who’s with me?!
Salty, savory sausage + creamy, tangy fluffy Idahoan Signature™ Russets Mashed Potatoes + crispy panko + runny eggs . . .
This is a brunch home run, my friends. 🙂
