This recipe uses frozen hashbrowns, which saves a lot of time. You don’t have to peel potatoes; you can just throw everything together and bake it. It’s a very easy recipe to put together! No thawing necessary!

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

SWAPS

You can use whatever cheese you like or use a combination of cheeses. If you are not a fan of onion, simply leave it out. I think you could use cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup as well.
