Funeral Potatoes

What would side dishes be without Funeral Potatoes. I never make them often enough for the kids, but then my friend, Lindsey told me how to make them using frozen hash browns so you don't have to grate the potoatoes. That is the reason I don't make them very often, I hate grating the potatoes.

Funeral Potatoes
* 32 oz bag of frozen shredded hash browns
* 2 (10 3/4 oz) cans Cream of Chicken Soup
* salt and pepper to taste (don't leave these out!)
* 1 cup Sour Cream
* 1 cup grated Cheddar Cheese (I like to use sharp Cheddar Cheese)
* 1/2 cube melted butter or margarine
* 1/4 c. chopped green onion
* 2 cups finely crushed Corn Flakes (Optional)
* 2 Tbs butter or margarine melted (Optional)
Directions
1. Grease 9x13 baking dish and preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In large bowl combine soups, sour cream, cheese, onions, and the melted butter.
3. Gently fold hash browns into mixture.
4. Pour mixture into pan.
5. Combine crushed corn flakes and the 2 Tbs. of melted butter and sprinkle on top of potato mixture. (step 5 is optional)
6. Bake for 30 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly and hot.

Huh. I've never made them with the potatoes grated before. I am going to try it this way. One of the things I love about funeral potatoes is that no two recipes are alike (in fact, the recipe I have is technically called Nauvoo potatoes).

No two are alike, but yet they are equally fattening and yummy.

No, not fattening. Their potatoes...potatoes are a vegetable. That can't be fattening!!

Ok, we'll go with that- not fattening.
