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