ROADSIDE POTATO BAKE



Roadside Potato Bake image

This is a very easy recipe plus it tastes great! You can substitute any type of shredded cheese for topping but add it after about 30 minutes into baking time to prevent it from browning too much.

Provided by Bonnie Young

Categories     Potato

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups half-and-half cream
1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 (12 ounce) packages frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed (patties work best)

Steps:

  • Heat half and half, butter and spices in small saucepan, do not boil.
  • Spray bottom and sides of 9x13 cake pan with non stick spray. Cover bottom of of pan with thawed hashbrowns.
  • Pour half & half mixture over potatoes. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top (can also use other shredded cheese of your choice see note on description).
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes or until heated though and lightly browned.
  • Sometimes I add diced ham on the top of the potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a fluffy texture when cooked.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to flavor the potatoes.
  • Use a hot pan: This will help the potatoes get a crispy outer layer.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the potatoes instead of frying them.
  • Flip the potatoes regularly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the potato pieces.
  • Season the potatoes with additional salt and pepper to taste: Serve the potatoes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
