Margaret's Hash Browns Casserole

Submitted by Katherine in Alberta

"Another of my Mom's excellent recipes. This is a perfect potatoe casserole if you are having 12 people over for supper and the taste is great. Cut the recipe in half to serve a smaller group of 6. This dish can be prepared the day before and then refrigerate until ready to use. Bring it to room temperature before placing into the oven, otherwise the cooking time will increase."
