How to Make Quick Cheese Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread 4 cups of frozen shredded hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth and thickened. Reduce heat to low.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the hash browns in the baking dish.
  7. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the potatoes to absorb the sauce.
  8. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! Pairs perfectly with ham.
