- In a large mixing bowl, combine your fresh or thawed hash browns, cheese, garlic, spices & oil.
- Press your hash brown mixture evenly into your muffin tin, forming a ‘nest’ in each cup. Bake for 20 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Remove from oven, set aside & set oven temperature to 350°F.

- Enjoy!
