CHEESY HASHBROWNS FOR A CROWD



Cheesy Hashbrowns for a Crowd image

This is the recipe we used for the Legion District meeting today. One recipe of this will make an electric roaster full--about 75 servings. There is no salt added to this recipe. I do not usually add salt when cooking and it can be added at the table.

Provided by Sheila Kremer

Categories     Potatoes

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 lb shredded hashbrowns
6 can(s) (10 oz. each) cream of chicken soup
4 16 oz. cartons, sour cream
2 c 2% milk
8 c shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp onion powder
2 Tbsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Line electric roaster pan with roaster liner. Spray liner with non-stick cooking spray. Be sure you use a roaster liner as there is nothing worse than cleaning an electric roaster pan that has baked on hashbrowns!
  • 2. Stir together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in a large bowl until well blended.
  • 3. Pour half of the hashbrowns into roaster pan. Add all of the soup mixture and stir well. Use a wooden spoon to stir so as not to tear the roaster liner.
  • 4. Add in remaining hashbrowns and stir well. Pour in about 1/4 of the cheese at a time and mix well until you have stirred in all of the cheese.
  • 5. At this point, you can cover the hashbrown mixture with Saran wrap and then aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight if you have access to a commercial refrigerator or remove the drawers from the bottom of your refrigerator and set the roaster pan in the bottom of the fridge.
  • 6. When you are ready to bake the hashbrowns, remove from refrigerator, put some hot water in the bottom of the electric roaster (about 2-3 cups) and set the roaster pan into the roaster. Remove Saran Wrap and foil and put cover on roaster.
  • 7. Set roaster at 350--check and stir after half an hour--if the hashbrowns seem to be bubbling along the edges of the pan, turn the roaster down to 275. Continue to cook for about 3-4 hours, checking and stirring every half hour. Be sure you stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon as a metal spoon will rip the roaster liner and you will have a mess!
  • 8. For the Legion convention meal, we doubled this recipe and made it in two electric roasters. We served this with a 4 oz. portion scoop and got 75 servings from each roaster.

Provided by Diane Behlmer

Categories     Casseroles

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 bag(s) frozen shredded potatoes
2 family s can(s) cream of chicken soup
2 16 oz sour cream
4 c shredded cheese. i like co jack

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all together. Spray a large heavy duty tinfoil pan with Pam.
  • 2. Bake at 375 covered for about 1 hour.
  • 3. Uncover sprinkle with a little more cheese and cook 15 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select russet potatoes, as they are ideal for hash browns due to their high starch content, which helps them hold their shape during cooking.
  • Shred the Potatoes Evenly: Use a grater with large holes to ensure uniform shredding. This will help the hash browns cook evenly.
  • Squeeze Out Excess Moisture: After shredding the potatoes, use a cheesecloth or kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture. This will prevent the hash browns from becoming soggy.
  • Use a Nonstick Skillet: Opt for a large nonstick skillet to prevent the hash browns from sticking. If you don't have a nonstick skillet, grease the skillet with cooking spray or butter.
  • Cook in Batches: If you're making a large batch of hash browns, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. This will ensure that they cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are classic choices, but you can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Flip Carefully: When flipping the hash browns, use a wide spatula and gently slide it under the hash browns to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Add Cheese at the End: For the best melted cheese experience, add the shredded cheese towards the end of cooking. This will prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Serve Immediately: Hash browns are best served hot and fresh out of the skillet. They can be accompanied by various breakfast dishes, such as eggs, bacon, sausage, and avocado.

Cheesy hash browns are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
