Recipe Notes

  • You can add other ingredients into this casserole before baking like chopped green onions, chopped cooked bacon, ham, sausage or even finely chopped broccoli or red pepper.
  • You can use shredded hash browns or diced hash browns.
  • Freshly grated cheese melts better than prepackaged, so grate your own fresh if you can.

Here's how to make it: 

  1. Grease a 6-cup casserole dish. Put half of the potatoes into the dish. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with half of the cheese.
  2. Top with remaining hash browns and more salt and pepper. Top with remaining cheese. Pour the cream over the top.
  3. Cover and bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake about 10 minutes more.
