- Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.

- Grease a baking dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Spread the potato mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.

- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Allow the potato bake to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Cut into squares and serve warm.
Tips:
- For a quicker preparation, use frozen hash brown potatoes instead of grating fresh potatoes.
- Add chopped onions or garlic to enhance the flavor profile of your bake.
- For an extra crispy topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter on top before baking.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella for a unique twist.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness.
