Step 4: Grate half of an 8 oz block of mild cheddar.
Step 5: In a bowl, mix chopped jalapeños, 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 2.5 pieces chopped bacon, 1/2 of the grated mild cheddar, a few handfuls of shredded Swiss and Gruyère cheese, 1.5 tbsp sour cream, and a little salt to taste.
Step 6: Place the cream cheese mixture on top of the hash browns, adding remaining cheddar, bacon, and sliced jalapeños.
Step 7: Bake in the oven at 400 degrees until the cheese is bubbly, then broil for a few minutes if desired.
