Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small onion, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded mild Cheddar
One 30-ounce bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  • Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic powder, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until sizzling all over and light golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the half-and-half and chicken broth, return to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar. Add the hash browns and toss until coated in the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the hash brown mixture to the prepared baking dish, then top with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Bake until browned and bubbling at the edges, about 45 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 475 degrees F and continue to bake until the top is crisp and browned all over, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Shred the Potatoes Finely: Shredding the potatoes finely will ensure that they cook evenly and thoroughly.
  • Use Fresh Potatoes: Fresh potatoes will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the Potatoes Well: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great options.
  • Cook the Potatoes Until Golden Brown: Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet will give you the best results. It will evenly distribute the heat and help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Skillet: Don't overcrowd the skillet with potatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the Hash Browns Hot: Hash browns are best served hot and fresh.
