PARTY POTATOES (AKA WHITE TRASH POTATOES) image

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

26 oz. bag frozen hash browns
1/2 c melted butter
4 oz. sour cream
1 can soup (recipe calls for cream of mushroom, Dianne uses cream of celery)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1 large onion, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
crumbled potato chips, fried onion rings, bread crumbs crushed Ritz crackers - anything crunchy.

Steps:

Let frozen hash browns thaw a little to make mixing easier. Mix all ingredients together, put in a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well and sprinkle with crunchy topping. Return to the oven and bake an additional 15 minutes. This dish is vegetarian, but ground beef and garlic can be added. Dianne has used Italian sausage or chicken mango sausage with Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Gruyere and cheddar can be used rather than just cheddar. Use your imagination. She does.
