# Notes:
01 -
This cheesy hash brown bake is a crowd-pleaser and comes together in just 15 minutes!
02 -
Don’t have frozen hash browns? Use fresh ones! Shred 4-5 medium Russets, soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes to get rid of some starch, and pat them dry before using.

Want to prep ahead? Put it all together, cover it, and chill overnight. Add 10 extra minutes to cook time in the morning. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before baking.

Leftovers store great! Keep individual portions in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze them for up to 2-3 months.
