1-Diving into this Irish Cheddar Cabbage Skillet recipe is such a fun adventure let’s walk through it step by step for a foolproof outcome! Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), which sets the stage for that golden, bubbly finish. The total preparation takes just about 60 minutes, with 10 minutes for prep and 45 for cooking, making it ideal for a quick weekend brunch or weeknight dinner.

2-First, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s frothy this adds a rich base for the flavors to build on. Next, add 1 cup of diced yellow onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened, bringing in that sweet, aromatic touch. Then, stir in 10 ounces of shredded green cabbage and ½ teaspoon of sea salt, cooking for 5-6 minutes until the cabbage softens and browns slightly for extra depth.

3-Building the Layers: Once the cabbage is ready, mix in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 more minute to release their fragrance. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly before stirring in the 20-ounce bag of frozen hash browns and 1 ½ cups of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. For a crispy texture, spread the mixture evenly in the skillet and press it down gently.

4-Pop it into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until it’s golden brown on top. Finally, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top and bake for another 4-5 minutes until it melts and bubbles beautifully. Garnish with 2 chopped green onions before serving, and you’re all set for a savory meal!
