Hash Brown Casserole

Recipe

I feel like I’ve seen a million different recipes for this casserole; everyone likes to change it up a little bit. I have a couple different variations myself, but this one is definitely my favourite. My kids love these potatoes and I try and make them when they are home to serve at breakfast. This is an easy casserole to prepare and take to various gatherings, and why they are also referred to as funeral potatoes.
