I am a big fan of potatoes, and I love the Simply Potatoes web site http://www.simplypotatoes.com/  I have been making these hash brown breakfast cups for Easter for some time now, and I thought I would share this recipe with you for your Easter Brunch. We have to work this year on Easter this is a very busy time for Disney right now. but I hope you enjoy this recipe.

2. Meanwhile, brown Italian sausage in 10-inch skillet; drain grease. Add mushrooms and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Fill each baked hash brown cup equally with sausage mixture.
