Holiday Comfort Food - Classic Sinful Potatoes

Here is a dish from Sheri' DuMond's mom, Lois Rhodes in Medford, Oregon. This is called "sinful" for a reason. It's got everything: fat, calories, sodium, the works. But oh so good. We're labeling it a "holiday" recipe for a couple of reasons. First, it goes great with Thanksgiving or Christmas feasts. Second, its "sinful" ingredients mean you should probably only indulge in dishes like this on special occasions.

Makes about 8 servings.

2 lb. frozen hashed brown potatoes, thawed
1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups sour cream
1 cup bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients except bread crumbs in a large bowl and mix well. Spread into a 9-by13 baking dish. Top with bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for one hour.
