A simple side dish to add to dinner. This is more of a method than a recipe. Clean and chop the potatoes. Toss with olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Bake them at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes or so, depending on how big you cut the potatoes.
You can use red potatoes, yukon golds or any other kind. Peel them or leave the peels on. Chop them bite size or cut them in wedges or sticks. Toss them with ground red pepper, red pepper flakes, parsley, rosemary, tarrogon, garlic…anything that catches your imagination and will complement the rest of the meal.
Ham or smoked sausage is perfect with cheesy hash brown casserole. The problem is that if you place the ham in the slow cooker with the casserole, the flavor will overpower everything else.

This hashbrown casserole can be baked in an oven or done in the crockpot. It can even be frozen and baked another day.
