Pan-baked hash brown (Hash-brown casserole) (Slideshow version)
Stage 11/11 : 40 min.
... and bake for 40 minutes.
The hash brown will bake into a sort of large cake. Check for the colour of the top and - most important - the underneath, which should be golden brown.
Remarks
You can serve this American style, with fried eggs and bacon for example, or in a more classic French style with a good green salad and vinaigrette dressing. Why not try both together?
The typical cheese to use is Cheddar, but any fairly hard cheese you like will do.
