Crunchy Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole (Potluck Potato Casserole)
Description
The casserole combines frozen hash browns with sautéed onions, ample sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chicken broth, creating a rich, cheesy base that bakes into a tender, creamy potato dish. Half the cheese is mixed into the potato mixture, while the rest is sprinkled on top for a flavorful crust.
A topping made from crushed corn flakes blended with melted butter adds a crunchy texture layer that crisps during baking. Covered with aluminum foil, the dish bakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour, then rests before serving to allow cheese to set.
This casserole balances soft and crunchy textures and pairs well with a variety of main dishes. Its ease of preparation with frozen potatoes and pantry staples makes it a convenient choice for gatherings requiring a comforting, substantial side.
