2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, butter (melted), and half-and-half. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Season the mixture with salt according to your taste preferences. This step is essential for infusing every bite with flavor!

3. Layer and Sprinkle: Transfer the potato mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Next, generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the potato mixture. The cheese adds a delightful savory touch and forms a golden crust during baking.

4. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and let the potatoes bake for approximately 60-90 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they bake, ensuring they achieve a golden brown hue and a crispy exterior. The baking time may vary depending on your oven and desired level of crispiness.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the Good Potatoes are beautifully golden and bubbling, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These creamy, cheesy potatoes are best enjoyed hot, straight from the oven, alongside your favorite main dishes or as a standalone indulgence.

6. Note on Baking Time: The suggested baking time range of 60-90 minutes ensures that the potatoes cook through evenly and develop a delightful golden crust on top. Adjust the baking time based on your oven’s performance and desired level of crispiness. Remember, patience is key to achieving perfectly baked Good Potatoes!
