Thanksgiving Cheesy Potatoes (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 450 g frozen cubed hash brown potatoes

→ Dairy

02 - 180 g sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
03 - 120 g sour cream
04 - 56 g unsalted butter, melted

→ Canned Goods

05 - 310 g cream of chicken soup

→ Produce

06 - 30 g green onions, finely chopped

→ Seasonings

07 - 3 g salt
08 - 1 g freshly ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 23x33 cm baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, salt, pepper, and 120 g shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy, then gently fold in frozen cubed hash brown potatoes until evenly coated.
03 - Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly using a spatula, maintaining a slightly textured surface for browning.
04 - Sprinkle remaining 60 g shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top to create a golden, crispy crust during baking.
05 - Bake uncovered for 45 to 55 minutes, until edges bubble and top is golden brown. Optionally, broil for 2 to 3 minutes to achieve extra crispness.
06 - Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to set. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions before serving.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For easier mixing and even baking, allow frozen potatoes to thaw slightly. Using freshly shredded cheese improves melt quality. Resting the dish post-baking helps it set for easier slicing.
