Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Frozen shredded hash browns
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, whisking constantly to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring a smooth consistency. Cook for 3–4 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the frozen hash browns to a large mixing bowl. Pour the cheese sauce over the hash browns and gently mix until evenly coated.
Spread the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a smaller bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the hash browns.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Hash Browns Au Gratin!
