Note
For best texture, ensure the hashbrowns are thawed slightly before mixing to prevent excess moisture from making the dish soggy.
You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup if preferred.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
For a spicier kick, increase the amount of diced green chilies or add a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
The potato chip topping can be omitted for a lower-fat option, or replaced with breadcrumbs for a different texture.
