1 lb. frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 stick butter
1 (8 oz.) sour cream
1 can cream of celery soup
5-6 green onions, chopped (greens, too!)
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 (8 oz.) shredded mild Cheddar cheese
2 c. crushed corn flakes (optional)

Thaw frozen hash browns and mix with 1/2 stick butter, melted. Add other ingredients and bake in cold oven (not preheated) at 350 degrees for about 1 hour.

Just before baking time is up, mix corn flake (crushed) with remaining 1/2 stick butter and top casserole with it. Continue baking until time is up. Serves 8-10 people. Great with ham, chicken, meat loaf, etc.
