Potato Bake!

I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe.

I must have.

It's such a family favorite, and I've shared it on Facebook and on my Ruthy's Place blog....

Maybe not here? Because I searched and can't find it, clearly I've been REMISS!!!!!

Because this is like the best-tasting potential heart attack recipe in the world.

We take it for potlucks, we use it for showers, for parties, for family get-togethers, and have I mentioned how much easier these family get-togethers are now with The Room That Harlequin Built????

WHAT A DIFFERENCE WITH A HUGE CREW!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!

But back to food!

POTATO BAKE:

1 32 oz. bag shredded frozen potatoes
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 12 oz. container French onion dip
2 cups shredded sharp cheese
1 stick butter, melted


For topping:

4 cups crushed corn flakes
1 1/2 sticks butter melted

Mix first list of ingredients together, except the potatoes.

(potatoes can be thawed or frozen, no matter. Easier to mix in if thawed somewhat.)  When creamy goodness is mixed well, stir in potatoes.

Now adding potatoes:

Spread in greased or "Pam" sprayed 13 x 9" pan:

Corn flakes crushed and buttered, oh yum!!!

Pile the corn flakes onto the casserole, bake at 375 degrees until golden and bubbly, usually 35-40 minutes.

AMAZING. FAMILY WILL LOVE YOU, THEY WILL SING YOUR PRAISES, THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU IN THEIR WILLS!!!!  SO WORTH THE POTENTIAL HEART DISEASE!!!!
