Mormon Party Potatoes


1 package (32 ounces) shredded potatoes

1 can (10 ¾ ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup

16 ounces sour cream

12 ounces grated cheddar cheese

½ cup chopped onions

½ cup melted butter or margarine

salt and pepper to taste

Topping:

¾ cup crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs

2 tablespoon melted butter or margarine

Mix ingredients together and pour into buttered baking dish (9- x 13-inch). Top with breadcrumb or cornflake mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F until it starts to bubble. Reduce heat of oven to 275 degrees and bake one hour or until it is no longer soupy.



I added smoked Gouda cheese instead of cheddar, and about three green onions, chopped coarsely, and substituted Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup for Cream of Chicken.
