Grandma Ruth's Au Gratin Potatoes

No we do not save these just for funerals. We love them too much! Chris was thumbing through my Grandma Ruth's recipes one Sunday and decided to make these (what can I say, he's an Idaho boy and loves potatoes). I let him have at it in the kitchen and they turned out quite well.

INGREDIENTS:
1 medium onion
1/2 square of butter
1 pt sour cream
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 c grated cheese
1 lb pkg Southern-style shredded hash browns or you can cook your own potatoes and grate them if you wish it!
1 1/2 c crushed cornflakes
1 T butter

DIRECTIONS:
Chop onion and microwave with 1/2 square butter for about 3 minutes.

In a large bowl mix together sour cream, soups, the onion and butter mixture, and grated cheese.

Stir the bowl mixture in with the hash browns in 9x13 pan.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes in 350 degree oven.

Remove from oven.

Mix cornflakes with tablespoon of butter.

Top potatoes with corn flake mixture, then bake for another 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
