Yeah, I'm double posting, but I just love potatoes sooooo much! We call these Winnie's potatoes because it is my grandma's recipe. She calls them escalloped potatoes but that brings up images of sliced potatoes in cheesy sauce for me, so we have rechristened them after her, Winifred "Winnie" Mawhorr.

Ingredients:

• 1 2-lb bag frozen hash brown potatoes, partially thawed
  
• 1 8-oz. package shredded cheddar cheese
  
• ½ pint sour cream
  
• ½ tsp. garlic powder (or garlic salt)
  
• ½ tsp. salt
  
• ¼ c. melted margarine
  
• ½ c. finely chopped onion
  
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  

Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl. Pour into a 9x13x2 pan or
dish and top with: 1 c. crushed corn flakes or Town House Crackers
mixed with ½ c. melted margarine (I always use the crackers). Bake at 350* for 1 hour and 15 min.
