03/28/05 		I am looking for a recipe for Party Potatoes to serve 100. We would like to be able to cook the potatoes in a roaster. These are the potatoes that are made with hashbrowns and have cheese in them, with the corn flakes on top.

04/01/05 		Known as Mormon Potatoes, Ward Party Potatoes, Funeral Potatoes, Southern Party Potatoes, Easter Potatoes and many other names, these are pretty simple. Keep the layers totalling 3 inches or less.

Recipe makes 9x13 pan, you need about 9-10 pans for 100 people.

1 package (approx. 2 pounds) frozen hashbrown potatoes
1 to 4 tablespoons butter
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 onion, finely chopped
I usually grate in 1 cup bell pepper
2 cups sour cream (may use low fat or fat free sour cream or yogurt)
1 can Cream of Chicken soup (vegetarian, use cream of mushroom or cream of celery)
2 cups (1/2 pound)grated cheddar cheese (may use a mix of cheeses, I like some Swiss or jack and some PARMESAN in this)
2 cups crushed Corn Flakes
2-4 TABLESPOONS melted butter

Thaw potatoes. Combine butter, salt, pepper, onion, sour cream, soup, and cheese. Pour into well greased 3 quart casserole dish or two 1 1/2 quart dishes. Mix cornflakes and melted butter together sprinkle over potato mixture. Bake at 350* for 45 minutes. This casserole may be baked and frozen and then reheated to serve.
