Yummy recipe! I would do 2 sticks of butter next time, not 2 cups (4 sticks). The butter was oozing.

I agree, use only 2 sticks of butter.. Tastes very yummy.. :)

The recipe says one half cup of butter, which is one stick of butter.

I used 7 boiled potatoes instead of hash browns. Awesome results.

I added a little Mrs. Dash and 2 tsp. minced garlic. For the topping, I used crushed potato chips (cheesy garlic bread flavor) and no butter. It turned out great and I am on my second helping.

I made this recipe yesterday for adult grandkids. It was a hit with all of them. I did make a couple of adjustments. I used 1 cup of cheese in the potatoes, saved the second cup and used it for the top of the potatoes. I didn't use Cornflakes. I used 1/2 lb of bacon fried it crisp and sprinkled it on top of the 2 cup of cheese I reserved. It was so good. It was like mashed potatoes though, the next time I make it, I will not thaw the potatoes, may take longer to bake but will be more like a hashbrown. I will make them again. They seemed, very oily or buttery when they came out of the oven, after setting for a few minutes that went away. I think it was from the cheese.
