Well, now, you know I'm a big fan of hash browns! This casserole looks delicious--I'd have to forgo the onions an cheese, though. Isn't that sad? When you take that away, you really just have plain old potatoes.

I used to make this kind of dish, though, before I discovered all my limitations, and I felt like I could eat the entire casserole dish all by myself, I loved it so much!
