Peterson's Potato Dish

For years I begged my mom for this recipe, always saying I'd make it every week if I could. She didn't give it to me until I turned 24, probably waiting until I was old enough to understand it's a holiday only dish! Very rich and comforting.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups sour cream
• ½ cup melted butter
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 cups bread crumbs
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup
• ½ cup dried onion flakes
• 1 (2 pound) package frozen diced hash brown potatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir the hash browns, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, celery soup, onion flakes, 1/2 cup melted butter, and salt together in a 9x12-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Stir the bread crumbs and 1/2 cup melted butter in a small bowl; top the hash brown mixture with the bread crumb mixture. Do not mix topping until right before you put the dish in the oven, otherwise it will become soggy.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until the topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
