My cute hubby and I make this hashbrown casserole every year on Valentine’s Day to accompany our surf-n-turf dinner. We also make them for dinner side dishes throughout the year, as well as breakfast sides.
Why do I love this recipe, you ask? Because it is EASY. And totally delicious. It requires only 4 easy ingredients, 1 pan and 1 hour of your time. Add this to your next dinner or holiday table and you won’t be sorry!
HOW TO MAKE HASHBROWN CASSEROLE
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange frozen hashbrowns evenly in prepared baking dish.
Place pats of butter evenly over top of the hashbrowns and pour the heavy whipping cream evenly over the top.
Sprinkle evenly with seasoning salt. Cover the pan with foil and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.

GOT LEFTOVERS?
- Heat leftovers in a skillet, fry a couple of sunny side up eggs and you’ve got breakfast!
- Add them to the top of a burger with an egg. The breakfast burger is SO good!
- They are tasty as a side dish in place of mashed potatoes with this recipe from A Gouda Life – the Best Salisbury Steak!
RECIPE NOTES
- These potatoes can be the main event by adding diced ham or chopped turkey.
- Use any variety of frozen potatoes for this recipe. Stacking hashbrown patties works well, or choose between shredded, diced or country-style potatoes.
- This recipe would be delicious with a can of diced green chilies thrown in for added spice.
- Decrease the amount of butter used in the recipe by half and/or replace whipping cream with milk to slim the recipe down.
Because this recipe contains dairy in the form of heavy whipping cream, I do not recommend you freeze it unbaked. Prepare the dish, bake it, then allow it to cool completely before freezing.
Wrap pan in plastic wrap and/or foil to keep the air out. When you are ready to serve your dish, allow the baking dish to come to room temperature, then bake as directed.
The great thing about this casserole is that it goes with so many things! It can be used as a breakfast, lunch or dinner dish. Serve alongside an egg bake in the morning or a steak dinner in the evening. Or turn it into a stand-alone recipe by adding ham, beef or sausage.
Due to the amount of butter used in the recipe as well as the heavy whipping cream, it is not considered a “healthy” recipe. However, you can slim down the recipe quite a bit by decreasing the amount of butter used by half and/or replace whipping cream with skim milk.
