Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 ounces frozen cubed hash browns (thawed)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 ½ cups sour cream
  • 1 small yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup chicken broth (room temperature)
  • 2 large yellow onions (thinly sliced for topping)
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a skillet, melt ¼ cup of butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  7. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
