I don't know what other people call this, but it's that cheesy hashbrown casserole that's usually not only glutenous (due to using cream soup) but also very fattening & unhealthy. We call them Christmas potatoes because we used to make them at Christmas to go with the ham. Heart attack waiting to happen...
Here is my basic version - healthified (or at least less fattening) and gluten free
1 bag of hash brown potatoes (I buy Kroger brand - they flash freeze them & don't use any oil or fat so they're fat free)
1 carton of light sour cream (16 oz) or use 1/2 of a carton and some skim milk
1 1/2 cups of 2% shredded cheese
Salt & pepper to your taste
Mix half of the shredded cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper together. Mix this with the hash browns. I think this is easier if you add the hash browns a little at a time. If you like the topping cheese golden & a little crispy, put the cheese on top now. Otherwise, bake at 400 deg. for 45 minutes. You can put the remaining cheese on the last few minutes if you like it softer.
I know this recipe isn't super specific, but it's really hard to get these wrong in my opinion...you can also add some diced ham if you want to serve this as a main dish. Add onion if you like onion, etc.
