Parmesan Hash Brown Cups

Hey readers! I found this recipe the other day and well it was delicious! So I thought I would share it with you. I found it on Pinterest (love this place!) and I found out that the original source is The Yummy Life. Any way the recipe is called Parmesan Hash Brown Cups. These would go great paired with so many things. It's really versatile. AND an added bonus is that is so simple. Simple and I get along great. What's great is that you can dip them in ketchup salsa, or anything you want (... or even eat them plain).
