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.
NOTE: This serves 8 to 10. If you want to cut the recipe in half just use the other half can of cream of chicken soup on chicken breast to serve with this recipe or you can freeze to use another time.
