Notes
- Use either russet, yellow, or red potatoes. I prefer to peel the potatoes for this recipe.
- If using thawed hashbrown potatoes, they do not need to be cooked first.
- This recipe can be prepared ahead of time. If chilled from the fridge cover with aluminum foil for the first 20 minutes and add 15 to 20 minutes to the cooking time.
- Optional topping: For a crunchy topping, combine 1 1/2 cups corn flakes, slightly crushed, with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Top casserole before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
