You don’t even need to buy potatoes. Well, the regular potatoes you find in the produce section, anyways. This simple side is made with frozen hash browns. Thaw those babies out in the fridge and you are good to go to make this recipe.
Matty loved them so much that he called his parents to come over to try them out. They really enjoyed them, too. I’m thinking the next time I can host a family gathering, this recipe is going on the menu. It’s perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. No lumpy potatoes here!
Ingredients
You don’t need any fancy ingredients either. You might even have a lot of these ingredients in your fridge, freezer and pantry.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 lb bag of frozen hash browns – thaw them out in the fridge for a few hours before you use them in the recipe
- Chopped onion
- Melted butter
- Shredded cheddar cheese – we like old cheddar in our house!
- 1 can cream of chicken soup – don’t add any water.
- Sour cream
- Onion salt
- Pepper
- chopped fresh chives – you could also use chopped green onion if you don’t have chives
How to Make
You’ll make this recipe once and always remember it. It’s super easy! The printable recipe card is at the bottom of the post if you want to print it out for later.
- Start by preheating the oven to 350F.
- Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Spread the mixture in a 9×13 baking dish.
- Bake for 1 hour, uncovered.
- Turn the oven to broil on low. Broil for 1 minute or until the top starts to brown. Make sure to watch it because it will burn quickly! I like to do this so it has a nice golden top. You could skip this step if you want.
- Remove from oven and serve hot.
If you have any leftover chives, you could add them to the top as well for extra garnish and flavor. Yum!

I think the only hash browns in Australia are sold at McDonalds! Pity as the recipe looks so tasty.

Bummer! You could try this recipe here and make your own: https://www.food.com/recipe/frozen-hash-browns-homemade-oamc-128380
Janet says
Have you tried using fresh grated potatoes instead of hash browns? Wonder if there would be any consistency issues. Looks fab though and I’ll try it as a brunch side dish for sure.
Stacie says
I haven’t, but I bet that would work too. You might not need to cook it as long since the potato pieces would be smaller and thinner. If you try it, let me know!
Jackie says
Have you ever cooked this in a crockpot?
Brittnanny says
This party hashbrown recipe looks delicious! What do you suggest in place of cream of chicken soup? For some reason when i use “cream of” soups i have terrible stomach issues! It sucks because thetes some really great recipes using them!!!
Stacie says
You can make your own “cream of soup substitutes” here – https://www.centercutcook.com/cream-soup-substitute/ It will be a little more work, but should still taste yummy!
Karen says
Can this be put together and bake next day
Stacie Vaughan says
Yes, for sure. Just store it covered in the fridge.
Tracy says
Would I be able to cook this in an air fryer oven? If so how long do you think it would take to heat through?
Stacie Vaughan says
Hi Tracy, I’ve never made this recipe in the air fryer so I’m not sure.
Jayne Rossi-Elliott says
Can this recipe be cut in half.
Stacie Vaughan says
Yes, you can, but you will need to likely lower the baking time.
Karen says
After mixing and put in dish I crush cornflakes 1 cup crushed and add 1/2 stick of butter melted to cornflakes and pit on top, bake 40-45 minutes.
Patty says
Do you thaw the frozen hash browns?
Stacie Vaughan says
Yes, thaw them out before you use them.
Marian says
I thought about adding some leftover chicken or turkey. Do you think that it would work?
Stacie Vaughan says
Yes, I think that would be tasty!
Ann Marie Myatt says
Can this be frozen? And if so for how long?
