Parmesan Potatoes

Parmesan Potatoes Ala Goldie 

★★★★★

Prep Time: 30 | Cook Time: 45 | Makes: 8 | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion
• 8 tablespoons butter divided
• 3 cups half and half
• 26 ounces frozen hash browns
• Salt and pepper
• 2/3 cup parmesan cheese

Directions:

Saute the onion in 6 tablespoons butter 
Add the half and half, then heat over medium until it almost comes to a boil 
Stir in the potatoes, salt and pepper to taste, and cook until very thick, stirring constantly. This can take 30 minutes. 
Pour into a 9x13 banking dish and top with the parmesan cheese. 
Slice the remaining butter into small pieces and put across the top.
Bake at 325 degrees for about an hour, or until brown and bubbly. 

Notes:

The potatoes typically come in 26 to 30 ounce bags,use the whole bag if you want to. Make sure that they are unseasoned loose cut. Unfortunately, ore Ida brand is too salty. Generic brands work fine. Thaw them in the fridge the day before. Don't buy fancy parmesan, this one time Kraft is the perfect choice. This recipe doubles well for parties.
