HASH BROWN CASSEROLE



Hash Brown Casserole image

Super comforting dish with crisp and cheesy top. The Greek yogurt and milk keep it light, yet luscious. The sharpness of the cheese allows you to use a little for a lot of flavor. The cremini mushrooms provide a savory element to make it heartier. And the little touch of butter adds a just-right richness.

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for coating baking dish
12 ounces 2-percent Greek yogurt
1 cup lowfat (1-percent) milk
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 pounds frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar (4 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, chopped
1 pound sliced cremini (baby bella) mushrooms
3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Hash browns are usually a breakfast thing--crispy and served with eggs. I love what happens when I combine them with other ingredients and bake into a casserole, mixing all the flavors and textures into one delicious cheesy, crispy and creamy bite!

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
One 16-ounce bag frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
8 ounces sharp yellow Cheddar, shredded (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for garnish
1 medium yellow onion, coarsely grated
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-9-inch casserole dish with the butter and set aside.
  • Add the hash browns, 7 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) of the Cheddar, the sour cream, onion, egg, paprika, cayenne and 1/4 cup of the chopped chives to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir until combined. Pour into the prepared casserole dish and top with the remaining 1 ounce (1/2 cup) Cheddar.
  • Bake for 45 minutes until the casserole is heated through, browned on top and the sides become crispy. Let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into slices and dollop with more sour cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons chives.

Tips:

  • Use fresh potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater.
  • Squeeze out as much moisture from the grated potatoes as possible.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the potatoes so that they can spread out in a thin layer.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat so that they have time to brown and crisp.
  • Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Add in other vegetables, such as onions, peppers, or mushrooms, for a more flavorful casserole.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a gooey and flavorful casserole.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Serve the casserole immediately.
