Anytime Potatoes (Hash brown casserole)

When I made the decision to do "Brinner" for Easter, my family and I sat around in my parents' living room discussing my ideas on what I planned to have. We chatted about a variety of options and then I was informed that I would be making this hash brown casserole. Apparently, everyone in the royal family had already tasted the amazingness of this dish, and so there were no ifs, ands, or buts about it. When my mother handed me the little piece of paper with the recipe on it, I 100% agreed. 

Now that I've made it, and eaten it, and enjoyed it, I am sold that these truly are "anytime" potatoes.
