how to make Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

Start on the stove to soften the onion and cabbage. Add garlic, then mix in frozen hash browns and some cheddar. Bake until the top browns. Add the rest of the cheese and bake a little more. Finish with green onions. The steps are quick and clear, and the oven does the rest.

Ingredients :

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup diced yellow onion
• 10 ounces shredded green cabbage
• ½ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced or grated)
• 20 ounce bag of frozen hash browns (see notes for fresh potato option)
• 2½ cups shredded Irish cheddar (divided)
• 2 green onions (chopped)

Directions :

1. Preheat the oven to 375℉. In a large skillet (I used a 15 inch cast iron), heat the butter until melted and slightly frothy.
2. Add the onion and saute until fragrant and beginning to turn translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the cabbage and combine with onions. Season with salt. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the cabbage has softened and is beginning to turn lightly golden in spots.
4. Stir in the garlic and cook for about a minute. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. Add the frozen hash browns and 1½ cups of cheese and mix until well-combined. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top begins to turn golden brown.
7. Add the remaining cheese to the top and bake for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from oven and top with chopped green onion before serving.

how to serve Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

Serve hot from the skillet. Cut into wedges or scoop with a large spoon. It pairs well with a simple salad, roasted meat, or eggs. Add extra green onions or a drizzle of hot sauce if you like more flavor.

how to store Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

Cool the skillet to room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300℉ until warm, or microwave single portions for 1-2 minutes.

tips to make Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

• Use a large oven-safe skillet so the mix spreads thin and cooks evenly.
• Let the cabbage cook until it softens; this removes extra water.
• If the top browns too fast, cover with foil and finish baking.
• Shred your own Irish cheddar for the best melt and flavor.

variation (if any)

• Fresh potato option: Use 2 pounds peeled and grated russet potatoes. Squeeze out excess moisture and pat dry before mixing. Skip the frozen hash browns and adjust oven time if needed.
• Add cooked bacon or ham for a meat version.
• Swap green cabbage for savoy or napa for a milder taste.
