Note

For best results, ensure hash browns are fully thawed and drained of excess moisture to prevent a watery casserole.

Substitute butter for margarine for a richer flavor if dietary restrictions allow.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF for 15-20 minutes.

For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
