Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 30 ounces frozen hash browns, thawed and patted dry
  • 16 ounces full-fat sour cream
  • 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups cornflakes or panko
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Wrap thawed potatoes in a towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, half of the melted butter, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Gently fold in the dried potatoes until coated without overworking the mixture.
  5. Spread the potato mixture in the baking dish and level the top without compressing it.
  6. Crush cornflakes or panko and mix with remaining melted butter. Sprinkle over the potato mixture.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until edges are bubbling and top is golden brown.

Notes

Ensure the oven is properly calibrated. Grate your own cheese to avoid grainy texture. Let rest for at least 10 minutes after baking for better slicing.
