Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds frozen shredded hash brown potatoes thawed
  • 1 cup diced yellow onions
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes or crushed Ritz crackers
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, stir together sour cream, condensed soup, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Add thawed hash browns, diced onions, and 1½ cups of shredded cheese to the creamy mixture. Gently fold to coat.
  • Spoon potato mixture into the dish and sprinkle crushed cornflakes mixed with butter and remaining cheese over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  • Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley before serving.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, use full-fat sour cream. You can make it dairy-free by using vegan butter and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
