Salt and pepper to taste

  5. Mix.
  6. Add the crushed potato chips or cornflake crumbs on top. This is optional.

Customizing The Recipe

This recipe lends itself to customization depending upon the nutritional goal. It can easily be made with less calories with low fat substitutions of the original ingredients or optional items can be added to increase the calorie intake. 

Optional items include:

  • diced or minced ham
  • onions
  • hashbrowns of your choice
  • cream of mushroom can be substituted for the cream of chicken soup
  • diced or minced pre cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken
  • diced or minced pre cooked vegetables

Can You Freeze Hashbrowns Deluxe?

Absolutely! The dish freezes very well without sacrificing taste or consistency. We would usually eat about 1/2 the pan over 2-3 meals and then I would make individual portions of the remainder to freeze.

I use 1.25 cup Rubbermaid containers or cut the leftovers into squares which I wrap in plastic wrap and foil to freeze.
