I'm on a mission lately to clean out and use up products in my fridge and pantry. I created 4 weekend appetizers on Friday by just hitting the farm market and clearing out some stuff we already had...Tzatziki, Corn & Black Bean Salsa, Buffalo Chicken Dip and Deviled Eggs.
Along with making a concerted effort to cook {almost} every night, the pantry purge has been pretty successful!
This recipe also helped me purge an aging can of evaporated milk, frozen hashed brown potatoes, cheese and eggs that were on there way out. Some "seen better days" green onions and peppers were added as well. A perfect midweek supper!

Style hash brown potatoes
