Categories Potato

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 9x13 pan

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 lbs frozen hash brown potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 (10 ounce) cans chicken soup or 2 (10 ounce) cans mushroom soup
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups corn flakes, crushed
1/4 cup melted margarine or 1/4 cup butter

Break up potatoes and mix in all ingredients, all but the topping.
Put into baking dish and top with the combination of corn flakes and melted margarine/butter.
Bake at 350 degF for about 45 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho potatoes for a smooth and creamy texture.

Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.

Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave some space between the potato slices so that they can brown evenly.

Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy texture and a delicious flavor.

Grate the cheese finely: This will help it melt evenly into the custard.

Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or chives will add a delicious flavor to the custard.

Season the custard well: Use salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.

Don't overcook the custard: The custard should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Let the custard cool slightly before serving: This will help it to set and firm up.
