Death by Potatoes Casserole

Here's another recipe that we really like. I can't take credit for it, though. I got it from my friend, Laurie.

This recipe will fit in a 9X13 baking pan
5 lb. potatoes
1 24 oz. tub of sour cream
1 can cream of celery or chicken soup
4 cups shredded cheese (any kind)
1 bunch green onions
1 small bag plain potato chips
1-2 sticks melted butter
salt and pepper to taste

Peel and cut potatoes into 1 inch squares. Pre-cook potatoes so they have at least 1 hour to cool down before putting casserole together (the potatoes must be cold). DO NOT USE FROZEN HASH BROWNS. Mix the first 5 ingredients well (this can take several minutes). Add salt and pepper and mix again. Crush potato chips and put on top. Drizzle butter completely over the top. Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until top is golden brown.

variations:
add 8 oz. cream cheese, cubed
add any meat - bacon, ham, chicken, sausage
my friend uses cornflakes instead of potato chips on top - we like it better with chips

You can always double the recipe (except for the butter - you won't need more than 2 sticks) and you will need a big lasagna pan.
