INGREDIENTS

  • 32 ounces diced uncooked frozen hash browns (not shredded, sometimes called “southern style”)
  • 1 medium onion , chopped fine
  • 1 (10 3/4ounce)can cream of chicken soup, not low fat, not low-salt
  • 1 (8ounce)carton sour cream (can be lowfat)

    • Topping

  • 1 cup herb stuffing mix (whitebread not cornbread)
  • 1/2 cup one stick butter

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. (do not use low-fat or low-salt soup. You need the full flavored soup to season the 2 lbs of plain potatoes)
  3. Mix potatoes, onion, undiluted soup, and sour cream. Spread into 2 qt baking dish.
  4. Mix melted butter with herbed stuffing, spread on top of casserole. Dot with more butter if you like before putting in oven.
  5. Bake @ 350 for 40 minutes. Might check it towards the end to make sure top is not getting too brown. if so, cover with foil.
  6. If using the uncooked, but unfrozen diced hash browns, the cooking time will be less, so adjust accordingly.
  7. I usually mix the main ingredients (not the topping) the day before so the flavors can mix in the fridge. Topping should be mixed just before baking(When I add the topping, I poke some down into the casserole for additional texture and flavor).
