Recipe Notes

I use breakfast potatoes (sometimes labeled home fries) instead of the hash brown potatoes; I like the cubed potatoes better. You can also use the bag of breakfast potatoes that have onions and pepper mixed in. I add chopped green onions to the soup and sour cream mixture. I like using the cornflakes best for topping, I use 1 ½ to 2 cups.
