how to make Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

Work in one large skillet and in a warm oven. First cook the onion and cabbage in butter until soft. Add garlic, then mix in frozen hash browns and part of the cheese. Bake until the top is golden, then add the rest of the cheese and melt. Finish with green onion on top.

Ingredients :

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup diced yellow onion
• 10 ounces shredded green cabbage
• ½ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced or grated)
• 20 ounce bag of frozen hash browns (see notes for fresh potato option)
• 2½ cups shredded Irish cheddar (divided)
• 2 green onions (chopped)

Directions :

1. Preheat the oven to 375℉.
2. In a large skillet (I used a 15 inch cast iron), heat the butter until melted and slightly frothy.
3. Add the onion and saute until fragrant and beginning to turn translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the cabbage and combine with onions. Season with salt. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the cabbage has softened and is beginning to turn lightly golden in spots.
5. Stir in the garlic and cook for about a minute. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
6. Add the frozen hash browns and 1½ cups of cheese and mix until well-combined. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top begins to turn golden brown.
8. Add the remaining cheese to the top and bake for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from oven and top with chopped green onion before serving.

how to serve Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

tips to make Irish Cheddar & Cabbage Hash Brown Skillet

• Use a large ovenproof skillet to cook and bake in the same dish.
• Let the cabbage and onion soften well for better flavor.
• If your hash browns are very wet, pat them dry to avoid a soggy bake.
• Pre-shred your cheese for even melting.
• Check the oven toward the end so the top does not burn.

variation (if any)

• Fresh potato option: grate 2-3 medium potatoes, squeeze out excess moisture, and use instead of frozen hash browns.
• Add cooked bacon or diced ham for a meaty version.
• Swap the Irish cheddar for sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack.

FAQs

Q: Can I use fresh cabbage instead of shredded?
A: Yes. Slice or shred fresh cabbage and cook the same way. You may need a little extra cooking time to soften it.

Q: Can I make this in a smaller skillet or baking dish?
A: Yes. Use a smaller ovenproof dish. The bake time may change slightly—watch until the top is golden.

Q: Is this dish suitable for meal prep?
A: Yes. Make it ahead, cool, and store in the fridge. Reheat in the oven for best texture.

Q: Can I use a different cheese?
A: Yes. Sharp cheddar, a cheddar blend, or even Swiss can work. The flavor will change but it will still be tasty.

Q: How do I avoid a soggy bottom?
A: Make sure cooked cabbage is not too wet and the hash browns are not thawed and watery. Pre-cook to remove excess moisture if needed.
