Prep Time :10 minutes
Cook Time :20 minutes
Total Time :30 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients

  • 30 oz frozen shredded potatoes or hash browns thawed
  • 8 oz of sour cream room temperature
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cup half-and-half room temperature
  • 8 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded, room temperature
  • 4 oz muenster shredded, room temperature
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt more to taste
  • 1/2 cup of green onion chopped, more for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 375F and grease a 9x13 casserole dish with a little butter or olive oil spray.
  • Shred your cheeses and mix them together. Set aside half of the cheese for the filling and the other half to top the casserole.
  • In a large bowl, add the thawed potatoes, melted butter, seasonings, mustard, green onion and sour cream. Mix well.
  • Then, add the half-and-half and shredded cheese you set aside for the filling. Mix well. Give the potatoes a taste to see if more seasoning is needed.
  • Then, transfer the potatoes to the prepared casserole dish and add the remaining shredded cheese to the top.
  • Next, place the casserole dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until it’s bubbly and golden on top. Feel free to broil to get the desired color you want to achieve. Then, let the potatoes cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with more chopped green onion and enjoy!
