1 Preheat your oven to 425°F. Layer the potato crowns into the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Bake them until they're golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Editor's Tip: Like blind baking a pie crust, this step is key to ensuring the potatoes turn golden and form a satisfyingly crispy, sturdy crust.
2 Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the turkey sausage over medium heat until it's no longer pink, about five to seven minutes, breaking it into crumbles as you work. Drain any excess water or fat, and then set it aside.
3 In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and seasoned salt until they're blended. Pour the mixture into the same skillet you used to cook the sausage. Cook and stir the eggs until the mixture has thickened and almost no visible liquid remains. Remove them from the skillet. Editor's Tip: Slightly undercooking the eggs helps prevent them from drying out and overcooking as the casserole finishes baking.
4 Gently press the potato crowns down to form a crust. Add half the shredded cheddar, followed by the cooked sausage and eggs. Top with the remaining half of the cheddar.
5 In a small bowl, combine the pancake mix and water until they form a smooth batter. Pour it over the cheese, and then drizzle it with maple syrup. Bake the casserole, uncovered, until the pancake batter has set and the top is crisp, 40 to 45 minutes.
6 Cut the McGriddle casserole into squares and top it with additional maple syrup, if desired.
