Stuffed Hash Browns

This week I'm celebrating the 2 year anniversary of becoming a Community Cook for Taste of Home and what better way to do it than with these Stuffed Hash Browns?      

I couldn't find the refrigerated hash browns, so I bought frozen, and let them defrost. I like fresh cracked black pepper and kosher salt.  I used minced dried onion and dried chives, it's what I had on hand.   

This is one of those recipes that I hope I get the picture on the first few frames, because I just want to EAT!    They definitely did not disappoint- crispy seasoned potatoes, packed with bacon and  topped with a dollop of sour cream.   Perfection.  Thank you to Annie P for sharing the recipe!
