How to Make Mom's Easy Hash Browns Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a measuring cup, melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter. Stir in 1/2 cup (118ml) milk, 1/2 cup (118ml) half-and-half, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread 4 cups (500g) frozen shredded hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the milk mixture evenly over the hash browns.
Sprinkle 1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
If the casserole appears too dry during baking, add 2-4 tablespoons of milk.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
