Easiest Au Gratin Potatoes

• bag of o'brian frozen hash brown potatoes↗1 bag
• sharp cheddar cheese↗1 1⁄2 - 2 cups

  grated

• cream or half-and-half↗3⁄4 cup

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Spray a large, deep loaf pan with non-stick oil spray.

2. 2

   Layer frozen potatoes and cheese, making three layers, and ending with cheese.

3. 3

   Pour cream or half& half evenly over all.

4. 4

   Cover pan with foil and seal well.

5. 5

   Bake at 375 for 1 hour, removing foil for last 15 minutes.

6. 6

   I don't usually add salt before baking as most cheddars are fairly salty.

7. 7

   This can be varied by using different cheeses such as swiss, blue, smoked gouda, etc.

8. 8

   You can also use plain hash browns if you don't like the onion/green pepper taste.

9. 9

   I've never made this using the low-fat/non-fat versions of cheese or cream, but I wouldn't recommend subbing them.

    The glory of this recipe is its decadence.
