Hash Brown Potato Casserole
(from cokerlj’s recipe box)
Gets rave reviews. — You can use “Tater Tots” too.
Be sure to purchase the hash browns that are cut into small diced pieces…not the shredded. Many people use cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom, I like the mushroom soup. You can just combine everything rather than layer. Personal preference. When I make large amounts of this I use the Ore-Ida regular hash browns…THEN I omit the onions and use one bag of the Ore-Ida O’Brian hash brown potatoes. You can do this anyway and just combine regular hash browns with the O’Brian hash browns.
Diced polish sausage can me mixed in with the potatoes to form an almost complete meal.
