POTATOES BENSON (FUNERAL POTATOES)

From my Montana friend, Jodi Bergman.  Traditionally after Mormon funerals, a meal is provided for the family. The menu is usually ham, "funeral potatoes," rolls, salads, and cakes.  This recipe is the one mostly used in my ward in Montana when I lived there. They are delicious! You don't need to wait for a funeral to enjoy these!

Fill 9x13 pan almost full with 6-8 medium potatoes that have been boiled in skins, cooled, peeled and grated (shoestring,) OR a package of frozen shredded potatoes.

Mix and spread evenly over top of potatoes: 
       1 can cream of chicken soup
       1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted (1 stick)
       1/2 pint sour cream
       1/4 cup green onions (include part of tops)

Mix and sprinkle over cream mixture:
        4 oz. grated cheddar cheese
        4 handfuls corn flakes, lightly crushed
        3 Tbsp. melted margarine

Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes.  

This recipe can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated.  Baking may take longer, due to chilled state of the ingredients.
