1 lg. (2 lb.) bag hash brown potatoes
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 c. sour cream
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 stick butter (melted)
Salt and pepper to taste (I use about 1/2 tsp.)

Combine all the above, pour into greased (I use PAM) baking dish (large 11x14 pyrex). Bake at 375 degrees for 45/55 minutes. Top with broken pieces of Ritz crackers (1 or 1 1/2 packs) tossed in 2 sticks melted butter. DO THIS BEFORE BAKING.
