(I made fresh hash browns it was around 5 medium potatoes added onion, salt and pepper into the potatoes then baked, didn't use a cup of butter like 3/4, we only have one kind of cheese here and I didn't use as much, 1 cup ham, used regular milk not can, ended up using 7 eggs, and when I added cheese and ham also added mushrooms and peppers.  So yummy.)
