Cheesie Potatoes (Mom's)

Every family has one of those recipes that shows up at every holiday, every potluck, and every “I need something everyone will eat” situation. This is that recipe.

Frozen hash browns get mixed with melted butter, sharp cheddar, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and onion, then piled into a casserole dish and topped with buttery crushed corn flakes.

It bakes up bubbly and golden with a crunchy top and a creamy, cheesy center that could make a grown adult fight for the corner piece.

Five minutes of prep. That’s it.

Kitchen Tips

• Let the hash browns thaw completely and squeeze out excess moisture so the casserole doesn’t get watery
• Use the sharpest cheddar you can get your hands on for maximum flavor
• Crush the corn flakes just slightly before mixing with butter so they form an even, crunchy blanket on top
