INSIDER INFORMATION

 

Use frozen thawed hash brown potatoes in place of the refrigerated.

To scramble eggs, gently draw an inverted pancake turner completely across bottom and sides of pan, forming large soft curds, as egg mixture begins to set.  Continue cooking until egg mixture is completely set.
