how to make Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

Make the onion and cabbage soft first, then mix in hash browns and cheese. Bake until the top is golden and the cheese melts. Finish with green onion for color and fresh flavor.

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 spoon onto plates. It works with a side salad, fried eggs for breakfast, or roasted meats for dinner.

how to store Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350℉ until warmed through, or microwave individual portions until hot.

tips to make Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

• Use a cast iron skillet if you have one for even cooking and a nice crust.
• Let the cabbage soften but not burn; stir often while sautéing.
• If hash browns are clumped, break them up before mixing so they heat evenly.
• Taste and adjust salt before baking since cheese adds saltiness.

variation (if any)

• Add cooked bacon or ham for extra protein and smokiness.
• Swap Irish cheddar for sharp cheddar or a mix of cheeses.
• Stir in chopped herbs like parsley for freshness before serving.

FAQs

Q: Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns?
A: Yes. Grate two large potatoes, squeeze out excess moisture, and use them in place of the frozen bag.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: You can assemble it, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the bake time if cold from the fridge.

Q: Is this gluten free?
A: Yes, the recipe is naturally gluten free if your ingredients (especially any packaged hash browns) are labeled gluten free.

Q: Can I freeze leftovers?
A: You can freeze portions in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Q: How do I make it less salty?
A: Use low-salt butter or reduce the added sea salt. Choose a milder cheddar or use less cheese.
