Cheesy Potato Bake

My mom makes this every Christmas and Easter. It goes wonderfully with the ham. And although it sounds similar to funeral potatoes, it's way better.

• 48 oz. shredded hash brown
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup 
• 1 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/3 C chopped onions
• 1 pt sour cream
• 1/2 C butter (about 1-2 sticks)
• Pepper and garlic powder

Thaw potatoes, combine everything but potatoes and heat till warm, stirring occasionally. Grease 9x13 pan well. Put potatoes in pan. Pour mixture over and stir up. Cover with crushed corn flakes. Bake at 350 for 45 min- 1 hr or longer if needed. 

Mom's Rolls

These are the best rolls you will ever taste. We make them for every holiday. They are a hit among everyone young and old. We eat them all the first day and end up having to make more to go along with the leftovers.

1 pkg dry active yeast
1/4 C warm water
3/4 C milk (scalded)
1/2 C shortening
1/2 C sugar
2 tsp salt
4 1/2 C flour
3 eggs
butter

Soften active dry yeast in warm water (110 degrees).
Combine scalded milk, shortening, sugar and salt; cool to lukewarm. Add 1 C flour. Add yeast and 3 eggs. Beat well.
Stir in 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 C flour (enough flour to make soft dough). Knead lightly on floured surface or use the bread hook of your KitchenAid. Place dough in greased bowl; turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise till double (about 2 1/2 hours).
Turn dough out on lightly floured surface. Divide dough in thirds; roll each third out to 12 inch circle. Spread butter on circle before cutting like a pizza pie, then roll up into crescent shaped rolls. Arrange rolls, point down on greased baking sheets, brush with melted butter. Cover and let rise till very light (about 1 hour). Bake at 300 degrees for 8-12 minutes. Watch very carefully, don't let them burn.

Note: unsalted butter is best so as not to burn.
