Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen hash browns thawed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a baking dish lightly. This helps prevent sticking and ensures easy serving later.
Prepare the Potato Base
- In a large bowl, add hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheese, melted butter and onion. Mix well until everything combines evenly.
Add Seasoning
- Add salt and black pepper to the mixture. Stir gently. Make sure the seasoning spreads evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
Transfer to Baking Dish
- Pour the potato mixture into the greased baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spoon. This helps the dish cook evenly in the oven.
Prepare the Topping
- In a small bowl, mix crushed cornflakes with melted butter. Stir well so all flakes are coated. This gives a crispy golden topping.
Add the Topping
- Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the potatoes. Cover the entire surface. This will create a crunchy layer after baking.
Bake the Dish
- Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 35–40 minutes. The top should turn golden and crispy while the inside stays creamy.
Cool Before Serving
- Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This helps the dish set properly. Serve warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use thawed hash browns for best texture
- Do not skip the crispy topping
- Add garlic powder for extra flavor
- Use fresh cheese for better melting
- Mix gently to avoid breaking potatoes
- Let dish rest before serving
- Add cooked bacon for variation
