How to Make Baked Potato Brunch Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and pierce 2 pounds of russet potatoes. Bake until fork-tender (approximately 60-75 minutes).
  3. Cool potatoes completely, then peel and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  4. In a greased 13x9 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes.
  5. Top with 1 cup of diced ham.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the ham.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and ham.
  8. Top with remaining cheese.
  9. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Pour egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  11. If desired, add 1 cup of sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and/or onions to the egg mixture before pouring.
  12. Cover and refrigerate overnight (optional, but recommended for best results).
  13. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  14. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
