Schwarties Hash Browns

This is one of my all time favorite casserole dishes for many reasons. Cheesy, oniony goodness, it freezes well, mixes up in a snap and is great for buffets.

• one bag hashbrowns (1 kg)
• 500 ml container sour cream
• 2 tins mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup melted butter/margarine
• grated onion to taste (I do one whole medium onion in food processor)
• salt to taste
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• parmesan cheese

Thaw potatoes slightly for easier mixing. Mix first 7 ingredients in 9 x 13 baking dish. Pat down into dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.

Serves 8-10.

*I like to add ham and broccoli to make this a complete supper casserole.
