Tips to make this shredded potato casserole:

• You can use frozen shredded hashbrowns or you can cut whole potatoes into 1/2″ chunks, boil until tender, and use them in this cheesy potatoes casserole.  Both methods work great.
• You can make this ahead of time.  24 hours in the fridge works great. 
• This also makes an amazing freezer meal idea. It tastes just as good after being frozen.  Just put the potato casserole in the oven frozen and bake for an extra 30-45 minutes. 
• I used whole fat sour cream in this recipe but you can lighten it up by using lite sour cream in this potato casserole with sour cream.
