Ingredients:

3 cups frozen shredded potatoes

1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 cup finely chopped cooked ham

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

3 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

pinch of nutmeg

Thaw potatoes between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Press potatoes into bottom and up sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate; drizzle with butter. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned; cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Combine ham, cheese, and bell pepper; spoon into potato shell. Combine eggs and next 3 ingredients, stirring well; pour egg mixture over ham mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Serves: 6 to 8
