Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good choice because they have a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy texture.
  • Shred the potatoes using a food processor or a grater. If you use a grater, be sure to use the large holes.
  • Rinse the shredded potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove the starch. This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming gummy.
  • Be sure to cook the potatoes until they are tender before adding them to the casserole. This will help to ensure that the casserole is cooked evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Swiss cheese, Gruyère cheese, or Parmesan cheese.
  • Top the casserole with a crispy breadcrumb topping. This will add a nice crunch to the casserole and help to soak up any excess moisture.
  • Serve the casserole immediately after it is baked. It is best when it is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Donna's creamy hash browns casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with hearty potatoes, cheese, and bacon, and it has a crispy breadcrumb topping that adds a nice crunch. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
