Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 (2 lb) bag of o'brian frozen hash brown potatoes
• 1 1/2-2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 3/4 cup cream or 3/4 cup half-and-half

Recipe

• 1 spray a large, deep loaf pan with non-stick oil spray.
• 2 layer frozen potatoes and cheese, making three layers, and ending with cheese.
• 3 pour cream or half& half evenly over all.
• 4 cover pan with foil and seal well.
• 5 bake at 375 for 1 hour, removing foil for last 15 minutes.
• 6 i don't usually add salt before baking as most cheddars are fairly salty.
• 7 this can be varied by using different cheeses such as swiss, blue, smoked gouda, etc.
• 8 you can also use plain hash browns if you don't like the onion/green pepper taste.
• 9 i've never made this using the low-fat/non-fat versions of cheese or cream, but i wouldn't recommend subbing them.
• 10 the glory of this recipe is its decadence.
