Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes.
- Grate the potatoes using a food processor or a hand grater to create hash browns.
3. Remove Excess Moisture:
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieve crispier hash browns.
4. Melt Butter:
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish, melt the 1/4 cup of butter.
5. Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, melted butter, 1/3 cup light sour cream, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
6. Season (Optional):
- Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for additional flavor.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish:
- 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.
8. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through.
9. Cool and Serve:
- 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.

- If you like some heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the mix.

Your Hash Brown Potato Bake is now ready to be enjoyed! The perfect balance of creamy sour cream, melted cheese, and buttery potatoes makes this dish an absolute crowd-pleaser. Serve it hot and watch your family and friends dig in with delight.
