My 16-year-old loves potatoes, cheese, and mushrooms, insanely. This recipe came from me wanting to start him on the path to cooking for himself, or so I can catch the occasional break. When they like what they do, they do it willingly. Besides, it's easy. I serve this with meatloaf and sweet peas/corn combo. They love it and love eating what they help prepare.

Hash Brown Casserole baked until golden brown.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Fresh red potatoes are what make this hash brown casserole special. They add so much more flavor than the pre-shredded or frozen potatoes. Super creamy with ample amounts of cheese, this is delicious for a decadent breakfast or a super tasty side.
