Ingredients

20 oz bag shredded hash browns refrigerated, like the Simply Potatoes brand
¾ cup sour cream
¾ cup cream of chicken soup
1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ medium onion diced
1-2 tablespoons diced jalapeños drained
salt and pepper or substitute Shake That All-Purpose Seasoning
butter for cooking the hash brown casserole cakes on the griddle

Instructions

Preheat flat top grill or griddle on medium heat.
While griddle is heating, add shredded hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar, diced onions, diced jalapeños, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gently fold everything together until well combined.
Butter the heated griddle where you will cook the hash brown casserole cakes. Put a heat-proof, round silicone mold on the griddle. Add hash brown casserole mix to the mold, pressing down lightly to form a cake shape. Remove the mold and repeat this step until all of your casserole mix is on the griddle. *You should have about 8 griddle cakes.
Alternate method - If you don't have a mold, you can also mound up about ¾ cup of hash brown casserole on the flat top grill using your spatula and form it into a patty shape, about 3/4" thick.
Allow the hash brown casserole patties to cook for about 5-7 minutes on the first side, or until nicely golden brown. Then flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the second side.
Optional - Sprinkle more shredded cheese and diced jalapeños on top of each patty and allow the cheese to melt.
Carefully remove the cooked hash brown casserole cakes from the griddle and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use refrigerated hash browns, not frozen — frozen add too much moisture.
Don't rush the flip. Letting the crust fully set is what keeps these cakes intact.
Add crumbled breakfast sausage to the mix to make these a complete one-cake breakfast.
Reheat leftovers on the griddle with butter to restore the crispy crust.
