Notes
- To turn the casserole into a more substantial dish, add diced cooked ham, cooked ground turkey or sliced cooked breakfast sausage before baking.
- For a little extra flavor and heat, add one drained 4-ounce can of diced green chiles.
- For cheesy hash brown casserole, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes during the final 15 minutes of baking. Leave the dish uncovered so the cheese can melt.
- For a more golden top, remove the foil after 45 minutes and bake uncovered for the remaining 15 minutes. The potatoes will remain creamy underneath rather than becoming crisp throughout.
- For a crunchy topping, toss crushed cornflakes with a little melted butter. Add them when you remove the foil, then bake uncovered for the final 15 minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.Keep the hash browns frozen and cover the baking dish tightly with foil. This traps the moisture needed to cook the potatoes until tender and creamy.
