Easy Potato Vegetable Bake

There is nothing fancy about this, but it's delicious and takes little time to throw together! Use a frozen mixture of the larger cuts of veggies like broccoli, green beans, onions for this. Instead of the Derkee dried onion topping, you can use 2 cups crushed cornflakes cereal mixed with 1/4 cup melted butter and about 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese. To make this into a main meal sprinkle 2-3 cups cooked chopped chicken over the veggies in the dish.
