Labor Day

Making cheesy potatoes for a family get together today.  I can smell the deliciousness right now. I always get asked for the recipe so here it is.....

Cheesy Potatoes

• 2 lbs frozen southern style hash brown potatoes (the cubed kind)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can cream of celery soup
• 2 16 oz containers of sour cream
• 1-2 16 oz package of shredded cheese (I use cheddar)
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix together soup and sour cream. Add potatoes and mix well. Next add the cheese (save some for the top). Melt the butter in the microwave. Add the garlic powder, salt and pepper to butter. Mix into potato mixture. Pour into baking dish ( i use a glass rectangle). Sprinkle with leftover cheese. Bake 60-75 minutes uncovered until the mixture is bubbly and brown. Remove and let stand for 15 minutes. It's even better the next day....if there is any left.  Enjoy!
