Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter or olive oil.
Thaw the frozen shredded hashbrowns and gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside. Dice the onion into small pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hashbrowns, sautéed onions, heavy cream, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the potatoes.
Fold in half of the grated cheddar cheese into the hashbrown mixture.
Transfer the hashbrown mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheese layer in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Let the cheesy hashbrowns cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
