Dessert Recipes : Ooey-Gooey Potatoes

Serves Approximately 10

Ingredients :

1 (2 lb) bag hash browns (fresh or thawed)
1 pint sour cream
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup diced onions
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp salt and pepper (or to taste)
2 sticks butter or margarine
4 cups "corn flake" cereal

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Melt one stick of butter in a saucepan or in the microwave. Put the potatoes, sour cream, cheddar cheese, chicken soup, onions and spices in a big bowl. Pour the butter on top and mix. Spoon the whole mixture into a 9 X 13 baking dish.

Melt the other stick of butter in a large sauté pan. Pour in the cereal and mix until the butter coats the cereal thoroughly. Turn off heat. Pour the butter-coated cereal over the potato mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour and 15 minutes, uncovered.

The top will become crunchy and the potatoes underneath will melt into a heavenly form. You'll no longer know that you started with hash browns. They will now have a texture closer to mashed potatoes.

Enjoy
