Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 strips bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
Cooking spray
1 (32-ounce) package frozen diced hash brown potatoes (do not thaw)
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole or 2% milk
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
30 buttery crackers, such as Town House or Club

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a medium skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Add the frozen potatoes, breaking up any chunks with your hands. Add the bacon, cheese, and chives, and toss with your hands until evenly combined. Arrange into an even layer.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking frequently, until smooth and starting to turn a light golden-brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, whisking occasionally, until starting to simmer, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne and continue to cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes more. Pour into the baking dish, making sure to evenly cover the potatoes.
  • Place the crackers in a zip-top plastic bag, press out the air, and seal the bag. Crush with a rolling pin or bottom of a small pan into crumbs. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Drizzle into the bag over the cracker crumbs and shake or toss with your hands until evenly combined. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
  • Bake until golden-brown and bubbling around the edges, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check after 50 minutes and tent loosely with aluminum foil if browning too quickly on top. Sprinkle with more chives before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: This will help ensure that your casserole is flavorful and delicious. Freshly grated potatoes are especially important, as they will give the casserole a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender, but still slightly firm. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the casserole will be less enjoyable.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Monterey Jack, or Swiss.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: The butter adds richness and flavor to the casserole. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of butter, especially if you're using a leaner type of cheese.
  • Bake the casserole until it's golden brown: The casserole is done baking when it's golden brown and bubbly. If it's not browned, it's not done baking.

Conclusion:

Cheesy hashbrown potato casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it's also a popular dish to bring to potlucks and gatherings. If you're looking for a hearty and comforting dish, cheesy hashbrown potato casserole is a great option.
