"Funeral Potatoes"

"Funeral Potatoes" aka Cheesy Potatoes (Grandma Blackham)

1 bag hash browns (grated or cubed)
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 pint sour cream
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (I use more)
1 can cream of chicken soup, condensed with milk
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped

Topping:
2 cups crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup melted butter

Butter a baking dish, cover the bottom with the hash browns
Mix butter, sour cream, soup, cheese and onion
Pour and smooth over the top of potatoes (or mix the potatoes and mixture together before adding to the pan--which is what I do)
Mix the cornflakes and butter and sprinkle on top

Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes
