Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Drizzle the olive oil over the seasoned hash browns and toss to coat.
Spread half of the hash brown mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the layer of hash browns.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, whole milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour half of the sour cream mixture evenly over the hash brown and cheese layer.
Add the remaining half of the hash browns on top, followed by the remaining sour cream mixture.
Top with the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and sliced green onions.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Let the Smoky Hash Browns Bake cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
