Ingredients
  

  • 1 20 ounce pkg shredded potatoes I use Simply Potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 3/4 tsp seasoned salt or kosher salt divided
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives can used dried chives

Instructions
 

  • In the bottom of a square baking dish sprayed with non stick cooking spray, sprinkle half of the shredded potatoes. I like to sort through the potatoes and discard any black or brown pieces.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoned or kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Then add the shredded cheese and the sliced green onions. Follow with the remaining shredded potatoes.
  • Pour the heavy cream on top of the potato mixture and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, a bit more black pepper, and the chives.
  • Cover and bake in a 375° oven for about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top is lightly browned and the casserole is bubbling throughout, about another 15 minutes or so. Enjoy!
