I would add some cajun seasoning just to make it a little spicy. love the recipe
Been making this recipe for over 30 years, but I’ve always baked in oven. It is delicious. I add diced onions sometimes . Someone in my family will cook this for every holiday.
I make a version of this recipe in my oven so I am looking forward to using my crockpot. Instead of sour cream and onion or onion powder, I use French onion dip. In our area we have Prairie Farms brand, and I consider it the best. When I use the oven, I put crushed potato chips on the top. I might try this as a late addition in the crockpot.
Sounds awesome I am camping might try it in the Dutch oven.
Can I make this the day before and put in fridge or will it be soggy?
yes, that works well
Can the hash browns be mixed with the ingredients the nite before? Or will they, then, be soggy!
Yes, you can make it the night before!
May this recipe be doubled? If so, may I use the same cook time?
I have not tested doubling this, unsure if it would finish in the middle before the edges would get too dark.
I was wondering if you could use real potatoes slices would it turn out the same??
I have not tested, I apologize!
