Breakfast Potatoes

I love hash browns with my breakfast. Potatoes go so well with eggs, toast, and bacon; it's a perfect combination. Normally my hash browns consist of potatoes, salt, and maybe a little pepper, but you know sometimes it is good to change your old favorites and try something new. That is where these breakfast potatoes come in.

Our son Jon and his fiancée Brianna were with us this past weekend. I wanted to make a nice brunch for them before they left on Sunday. I wanted some hash browns, but not the ones that I normally make. When I found this recipe it looked like it was easy to make and it was baked in the oven, so it free up my time to make the eggs and the bacon.

The recipe called for dill or parsley for one of the herbs. Now I know it is just me, but I am a little afraid of dill. Yes, I know that it is silly, but you see I have not done much cooking with dill besides making pickles. And when I was growing up my mother would have never thought of using dill in anything but pickles. So it is silly, but I am always worried that the food may taste a little on the pickle side (if that makes sense). But being the brave soul that I am I chose the dill over the parsley and it was the right choice. We loved these potatoes!
