Lumberjack Hash

Just like the Apple Cinnamon Coffeecake, I found this recipe while searching the Cooking Light website in preparation for my parent's weekend visit.  I knew I wanted something that would use hash browns, simply because I was in the mood for them.  The combination of peppers, onion, ham and cheese with the potatoes was delicious.  I thought it was a great morning treat, perfect for a weekend breakfast.  It was great right alongside scrambled eggs and coffee.  I topped mine with hot sauce, but you could also top with ketchup, or they are great as is!
