Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2-3 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and flavor; substitute with plant-based butter for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 medium Diced Yellow Onion Provides sweetness and aroma; shallots can be used for a different twist.
  • 4 cups Shredded Green Cabbage Adds nutrition and texture; swap with chopped kale or spinach for extra greens.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances flavors; adjust to taste or use kosher salt if preferred.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Infuses the dish with a robust flavor; garlic powder can substitute in a pinch.
  • 20 ounces Frozen Hash Browns Forms the base of the dish; fresh, shredded potatoes can also be used.
Cheesy Goodness
  • 2.5 cups Irish Cheddar Provides a creamy, tangy flavor; standard cheddar or non-dairy cheese work for a vegan twist.
Finishing Touch
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Onions Adds a fresh garnish; chives are a perfect substitute, or omit if desired.

Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  4. Stir in the shredded cabbage and season lightly with sea salt. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
  5. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  6. Stir in the frozen hash browns and 1½ cups of Irish cheddar. Mix thoroughly and smooth the top for even cooking.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle remaining 1 cup of cheddar over the top, and return to bake for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  9. Let cool slightly and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
