COPYCAT HASH BROWN CASSEROLE



Copycat Hash Brown Casserole image

This copycat hash brown casserole is an incredibly comforting side dish you'll want to make for both breakfast spreads and dinner parties alike. We opted to ditch the canned creamed soup and make a homemade cheese sauce instead. The result is a homey rendition of the classic Cracker Barrel dish.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small onion, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded mild Cheddar
One 30-ounce bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  • Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic powder, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until sizzling all over and light golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the half-and-half and chicken broth, return to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar. Add the hash browns and toss until coated in the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the hash brown mixture to the prepared baking dish, then top with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Bake until browned and bubbling at the edges, about 45 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 475 degrees F and continue to bake until the top is crisp and browned all over, about 5 minutes.

Provided by Amanda Berrill

Categories     Sides

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 oz medium russet potato, scrubbed
2 tablespoons ghee, clarified butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly cracked pepper, to taste
fresh chive, sliced
fresh dill frond
crème fraîche
salmon or trout roe
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Using a food processor fitted with the large grater attachment (or the large holes on a box grated), shred the potato. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with the salt, then let sit for about 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  • Transfer the shredded potato to a clean, lint-free kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. Wipe out the bowl, then the potato to the bowl and season with pepper. Use your fingers to separate the shreds into a fluffy pile.
  • Heat a 6-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until very hot. Line a wire rack or plate with paper towels and set nearby.
  • Once the skillet is very hot, add 1 tablespoon of ghee and swirl to coat the pan. Carefully transfer the potato shreds to the skillet and use a spatula to gently pat down into a uniform circle. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the bottom is a deep golden brown and crispy. Set a plate upside-down over the skillet, place your hand on top to hold it in place, and carefully flip the skillet upside down to release the hash brown from the pan. (Be careful, the skillet will be very hot!)
  • Return the skillet to the heat, then add the remaining tablespoon of ghee. Let the ghee warm for about 30 seconds, then slide the hash brown, uncooked side down, back into the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until golden brown, then remove from the skillet and place on the paper towels to drain.
  • Let the hash brown cool for a few minutes, before topping with a generous dollop of crème fraîche, smoked salmon, chives, dill, and roe. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

HEARTY SAUSAGE AND HASH BROWNS PIE



Hearty Sausage and Hash Browns Pie image

This is from one of those grocery store checkout recipe booklets, entitled New Great American Pies... probably from the 1990s. I've been making it for years when we have guests staying over. It makes a great breakfast. Instead of the American cheese, use a shredded cheese of your choice. To make easily when people wake, prebrown the sausage and onion, and prebake the crust. Then you can simply mix up the egg filling, pour into crust, top with cheese and bake.

Tips:

  • Shred the potatoes yourself: Pre-shredded potatoes can be more expensive and may not be as fresh. Shredding your own potatoes will also give you more control over the size and texture of the hash browns.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the hash browns. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a non-stick skillet, but be sure to grease it well.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the hash browns, be sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the skillet, the hash browns will steam instead of fry and will be mushy.
  • Cook the hash browns over medium heat: Cooking the hash browns over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. If you cook them over too high heat, they will burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
  • Flip the hash browns only once: When cooking the hash browns, only flip them once. Flipping them too often will break them up and make them mushy.
  • Season the hash browns to taste: Once the hash browns are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Hash browns are a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
