• Dash of onion powder
• 2 lbs. Southern-style hash browns, thawed

Directions

Stir together in 2 quart baking dish, making sure there are no "dry" areas. Smooth top. In a separate bowl, mix until well coated:

• 4 cups crushed corn flakes
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, melted

Cover top of casserole evenly with cereal mixture. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking for 15 minutes, or until bubbly in the middle.

Note: You can also put together the potato mixture ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use. Don't make the topping until you're ready to bake it. If you want to use this as a side dish, do not add the ham.
