Place a rack within the heart of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
-
Spread the defrosted hash browns onto paper towels or a clear kitchen towel. Pat as dry as potential.

In a Dutch oven or very giant, deep skillet, warmth the butter over medium warmth. Once the butter has melted, sprinkle the flour excessive. Whisk and cook dinner, stirring continually, till the flour is golden brown and smells nutty, about 90 seconds (don’t shortcut this step, or you’ll have a uncooked flour style).

Whisk cornstarch into the remaining broth till clean. Add to the skillet and whisk to mix.

Notes
- *I don’t suggest fat-free Greek yogurt right here, as it could curdle and won’t make the casserole as wealthy and satisfying. If you wish to go old style, you possibly can change it with bitter cream. I usually buy a 7-ounce sized small container (Fage sells one this measurement).
- TO STORE: Refrigerate leftovers for as much as 5 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm leftovers in a baking dish in a 350°F oven (finest technique) or gently within the microwave.
- TO FREEZE: You can freeze this whole casserole both baked or unbaked for 3 months. Let thaw in a single day within the fridge, then bake as directed.
- MAKE AHEAD: Assemble the casserole to the purpose of baking as much as 2 days upfront and refrigerate (wait so as to add the corn flake topping, as it may turn into soggy). When able to bake, add the topping, then bake as directed.
- TO USE FRESHLY GRATED POTATOES: Peel (non-obligatory) and grate the potatoes (you’ll want 6 cups or 2 kilos). Place them in a colander and rinse. Spread them onto a clear kitchen towel and pat very dry. Change out the towel and pat once more to take away as a lot moisture as potential. Note that I feel frozen potatoes actually work finest right here.
- HALVE IT. Recipe might halved and baked in an 8- or 9-inch sq. baking dish.
