Potato Side Dish

This is a Wisconsin dish if I've ever had one! This comes from Bethany's family of origin. When I first made this for Jon's family, they made fun of my "casserole" - - until they tasted it!

2 lb. southern style hashbrowns (thawed)
1 pint sour cream
8 oz. shredded cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
½ c. diced onion
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
4 c. corn flakes
1 stick butter melted

Mix first 8 ingredients and put into greased 9x13 pan. Crush corn flakes, put on top and pour butter over. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Bethany said...: I like this one better with the shredded hashbrowns now...and I double the cream of chicken soup add a little extra sour cream and throw in some chopped green onions. Oh yeah and double the corn flakes and butter ( I learned that from Kim haha); October 24, 2011 at 8:22 PM
Maria said...: I make this one all the time. Try it with cream of celery soup instead of chicken and crushed Ritz crackers instead of corn flakes. Always a great side dish!; October 26, 2011 at 4:00 PM

The inspiration

For a couple of years I have been typing up recipes and dreaming of getting them all into a book - one place that I can look for all of our go-to recipes we've compiled over the first 15 years of our marriage. But I hit a slump and became discouraged that this was never going to happen. Until the other night when I was talking to my friends Julie and Eric and they loved the idea, and Eric suggested that instead of a book, I create a blog! This way I could post what I already have typed up, it would all be in one spot, and maybe someday if I ever do actually get it put into a cookbook, it will be ready!
