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:
- Choose the right potatoes: Use russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy casserole. Red potatoes or fingerling potatoes will give you a firmer texture.
- Shred the potatoes evenly: Use a food processor or a box grater with the large holes to shred the potatoes. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes well: Be generous with the salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking and burning.
- Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them to brown evenly and develop a crispy crust.
- Stir the potatoes frequently: This will help to prevent them from sticking together and burning.
- Add the cheese at the end: Stir in the cheese once the potatoes are cooked through. This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery.
- Serve the casserole immediately: Hash brown potato casserole is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
