GRAMMY’S HASHBROWN POTATO BAKE

GRAMMY’S HASH BROWN POTATO BAKE  is a long-time favorite in our house, as I’ve been making these for about 25 years or so!! :). This recipe is also known as “Funeral Potatoes” due to its versatility and ease of transporting to various potluck-type gatherings.

I have tweaked the original recipe from using traditional frozen hash browns to using frozen O’Brien-type potatoes and we love this even more!  The addition of the diced onions and diced green peppers included in the frozen potatoes adds soooo much extra flavor to this dish!  But if you’re not a fan of that addition, then using the traditional frozen bag of hash browns will be a yummy side that all will love, as well!

The cheesy and creamy potatoes, topped with the crispy corn flakes, are a sure winner at any meal!  I serve these at sooooo many gatherings……Brunch, backyard BBQ’s, Family Lunches/Dinners, or taken to Potluck’s with friends!  It goes well with anything from egg dishes to hot dogs/hamburgers to a side dish for Thanksgiving Turkey!  The sky’s the limit! :).
