Lee's Potatoes

1 (32 oz.) pkg. frozen hashed brown potatoes

(all I could find was a 30 oz., worked fine)

½ cup chopped onion  (I used a whole small onion)

2 cups sour cream

½ cup melted butter, optional

2 cans cream of chicken soup (I used one big family sized can, worked fine)

2 cups shredded cheese (I used sharp cheddar)

salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cracker crumbs or cornflake crumbs

(I used two sleeves of townhouse, but probably one sleeve would have been enough)

Additional Melted butter.

Combine potatoes, onion, sour cream, ½ cup butter, soup, cheese, salt and pepper in a bowl (very large).  Mix well.  Spoon into a 9x13 inch baking dish (mine was larger).  Top with cracker crumbs.  Drizzle with additional butter.  Bake at 350F for 1 hour

May omit 1 can of soup or substitute 1 can cream of mushroom soup for 1 can of cream of chicken soup if preferred.

See why it was so good:     :)  from my son, Lee
