This is a nice potato side dish that is different than a casserole...no cream soup. I crisp up the hash browns with some onion and peppers then add a creamy cheese sauce. Then I bake it a few minutes to melt additional cheese. This would be great with crisp bacon pieces, or ham too! Yummy! Great with that steak and asparagus I'll be grilling later.
