Mormon Funeral Potatoes

There are many versions of these Funeral Potatoes. I don't remember where I got this one at. Some recipes call for putting cheese (about 1 cup Cheddar, American or whatever you like) in the potato mixture and using buttered bread crumbs for the topping.

1 1/2 pounds frozen hash brown potatoes
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup (or cream of mushroom soup of your choice)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup
3/4 cup milk
1 pint sour cream

Grated Parmesan cheese and butter for topping

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix all ingredients except cheese and butter, and pour into shallow baking dish. Top generously with cheese and dot with bits of butter. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is lightly browned.

This dish serves about 6 - 8 and is nice not only at funerals but to take to a potluck or a ward meeting.
