For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere or a sharp white cheddar in addition to (or instead of) the cheddar blend. Make sure your hash browns are fully thawed to prevent a watery casserole. Feel free to add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the potato mixture for an extra layer of flavor. If you don't have corn flakes on hand, crushed Ritz crackers make a delicious substitute. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
