Another family favorite, compliments of my wonderful SIL. These are found at potluck suppers, wedding showers, Easter dinner, and many summertime gatherings. Delicious and well worth the time it takes to make them.

    Naughty but VERY nice! Made for supper tonight and although I have not served it yet - I have had two or three spoonfuls! I do not have any Velveeta cheese, so I used all cheddar - but I did use frozen rosti, which is very similar to hash browns - what a great idea! I cooked it for 45 minutes and just need to "flash" it later - a very easy and delicious gratin dish - made for ZWT3. Thanks! FT

    Oh my these are terrific! I used a 1.5 lb bag of shredded hashbrowns, and let them stand for about 35 minutes before baking (step 2). The recipe turned out great. I baked for the full 1 hour and the potatoes were just perfectly browned. I will make these again for sure! Thanks for sharing. Made for Zingo- ZWT3- Nick's Mom

    Comfort food, without a doubt. I used cubed frozen hashbrowns. I also added chopped onion for extra flavor. I only baked them for 45 minutes because they were getting too brown on top. I'll use this recipe again (with my little changes). Thanx!

    Yummy, and easy. I did use half butter and half margarine. The sauce came together smoothly and flavored the potatoes nicely. The texture of the potatoes was a bit mushy, undoubtedly due to the frozen nature of the potatoes The ease of preparation makes the texture worth it.
