Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns thawed completely and very well drained
  • 1 cup sour cream regular full-fat preferred
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided, 1 cup for the potatoes and 1/2 cup for the top
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus a little extra for greasing a 9-inch glass pie dish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F and lightly but thoroughly butter a 9-inch glass pie dish, including the sides.
  • Thaw the shredded hash browns completely in the refrigerator or microwave, then spread them over a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and press firmly to remove as much moisture as possible.
  • Put the drained hash browns in a large bowl, then add the sour cream, 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar, and the melted butter.
  • Stir until the potato shreds are evenly coated, being careful not to overmix so the shreds stay fairly distinct.
  • Spoon the mixture into the buttered pie dish and press it gently into an even layer, all the way to the edges and just a bit up the sides.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar evenly over the top without piling it in the center.
  • Bake on the center rack for 35 to 45 minutes, starting to check around 30 minutes, until the top is deeply golden, the edges are browned, and little bubbles show around the sides of the glass dish.
  • Let the pie sit on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before loosening the edges with a thin spatula, then cut into 6 to 8 wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Cover leftovers and refrigerate within two hours of baking; they keep well for a few days. Reheat a wedge in a lightly buttered skillet over medium-low heat to crisp the bottom, or warm in a 350°F oven until hot and steaming in the middle. The microwave works but will soften the edges.
