I was looking for a hash brown recipe for a brunch that wasn't a typical condensed soup dish and decided to give this a try. I am so glad that I did! This dish got rave reviews from everyone at the party. I've served this for Christmas breakfast, a New Year's brunch, and as a side dish--it went best with my chicken pot pie. I pretty much do the recipe as-is although I have used whole milk instead of cream and it was just as good. Also, for anyone giving a party, this recipe scales well. I quadrupled it for our brunch by layering the hash browns like a lasagna and sprinkling/pouring the spices/cheese/milk on top of each layer. It took a while to cook but it was perfect. The recipe keeps in a chafing dish very well.
edited 2.12.2012 to add: I never could figure out how people were getting greasy dishes out of this recipes but now I know! I always used Ore-Ida hash browns but the store was out and I went with a store brand. I could not believe the difference in the dish based on that one change!! Definitely stick with the highest quality hash browns you can find!
