grocery Prep: 15min
timer Cook: 30min
restaurant 10 servings

Ingredients

White Sauce

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sage
Dash of paprika
30 ounces (about 7 cups) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Crumb Topping

3 tablespoons butter, melted
25 saltine crackers, crushed

Directions

  • To make the white sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk until clumps are gone.
  • With the saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup of milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Add the remaining milk and heat to boiling, whisking often so the milk does not scorch. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Allow the milk to boil for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in salt, pepper, sage and paprika. Pour the white sauce over the shredded potatoes, mix and set aside.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Pour and spread half of the shredded potatoes on bottom of the baking pan.
  • Slice each hardboiled egg lengthwise, making 4 slices for each egg, equaling 24 slices.
  • Lay the egg slices down flat, covering the potatoes.
  • Pour and spread the remaining potato mixture over the eggs.
  • Sprinkle the cheese overtop the potatoes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and cracker crumbs, stirring until the crackers are coated evenly.
  • Sprinkle the cracker crumbs overtop the cheese.
  • Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
  • Serve warm.
