Updating Easter Supper

[BadRabbit]

My family is full of good cooks but at holidays we tend to do the same dishes in the same way we always have. As the years move on, our family has gotten so large that we're now doing more of a "pot luck" style except that each person is assigned a particular dish.

This year I've gotten hashbrown casserole and I'd like to update it a bit hoping that I will inspire everybody to be a little more adventurous in the future. It may backfire and they may kill me for ruining Easter but it's a chance I'm willing to take.

Any ideas on how to update my dish and ideas for revisions to other Easter classics?

I'd maybe add dijon, onions and bacon...perhaps cream too. Maybe hash some purple potatoes along with the yukons for a different look.

I'll be interested to see what ideas you get. I am a fresh ingredient, from-scratch cook just about all the time; HOWEVER,if I tried to update, or in anyway mess with my family's Hash Brown Casserole (canned Campbell's soups, frozen hash browns) they would kill me, too. And honestly,it is so good, why bother?

My hashbrown casserole already has onions but I might try adding some dijon and maybe some chanterelle mushrooms. The purple potatos idea sounds interesting but I'm afraid the old folks wouldn't even try something that looked so alien to them.

Tell them its good for them and people are starving in China

I put a few purple pots on top of au gratin sometimes. Looks nice.
