Fortyhboobs's blog post - I've gotta share this recipe

We went to a pot luck dinner Saturday, my contribution was a scrumptious potato dish that I've been making for years and that's gotten kudos every time I've served it. Saturday was no exception - everybody raved about it and every single woman there asked me for the recipe.

It's another fast & easy dish that I know you'll love. Trust me!

SHREDDED POTATO CASSEROLE

2 boxes of frozen shredded hash brown patties (8 patties per box)
1 stick of butter (1/4 lb.)
1/2 - 2/3 c. thinly-sliced green onions
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can of milk
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 pt. sour cream (2 c.)
1/2 reg. size bag of potato chips
approx. 3 T. butter, melted

Defrost hash brown patties; crumble onto paper toweling and allow to drain while you prepare the sauce.

Melt the stick of butter over low heat in a medium size saucepan. Add green onions; cook for a minute to soften. Add soup, milk and cheese; blend well and heat until cheese has melted. Stir in sour cream. If you wish, add salt and pepper to taste.

Put potato chips into a gallon-size ZipLoc bag. Seal the bag and finely crush the chips using a rolling pin. Combine crushed chips and the melted butter; set aside.

Place shredded potatoes in very large mixing bowl; pour sauce over and mix well. Turn into an ungreased 13"x9" baking pan. Top with potato chip mixture. Cover pan with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until bubbly hot.
