This recipe has been adapted and then re-adapted from an original by Cassie for scalloped potatoes. My changes are for people who don't enjoy or can't peel and slice potatoes, due to arthritis, etc. Whether you use fresh potatoes, noodles, or frozen hash browns, this recipe is absolutely delicious!

How To Make white cheddar hash brown casserole
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Step 2In a large bowl, combine hash browns, chopped onions and minced garlic. Set aside.
-
Step 3Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan.
-
Step 4When butter is bubbling, add flour and mix well. Stir for a couple of minutes until it starts to thicken.
-
Step 5Gradually add milk and cream to the pan and stir constantly until it thickens some more. Blend in salt, pepper and nutmeg.
-
Step 6Add half the white cheddar and stir until cheese melts.
-
Step 7Place half the hash brown, onion and garlic mixture in the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
-
Step 8Pour half the cheese sauce evenly over the hash browns in the pan. Repeat with the rest of the hash browns and sauce.
-
Step 9Add the remaining white cheddar on top of the mixture (I usually use slices).
-
Step 10Sprinkle the regular shredded cheddar over the white cheddar.
-
Step 11Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over all.
-
Step 12Bake in the prepared pan, uncovered, for 60 to 90 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and starting to brown on top.
-
Step 13You may omit the regular cheddar and/or the Parmesan if you prefer. It is just as delicious without.
