  • Servings: 12

Tips:

Remember to spray the foil with cooking spray before placing on the baking dish. It will keep the cheese from sticking to the foil, so you end up with a perfect top.

You can also prepare this the night before and just pop it in the oven first thing in the morning. However your hash browns will be very soft. So if you like crispy hash browns, take the extra 25 minutes in the morning to make it fresh.
