Hash Brown Casserole and Coffee

I actually made something in the kitchen.

Hash Brown Casserole

1/4 cup melted butter
About 6 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
(Minced fresh parsley and chives)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
(1/4 cup cottage cheese)
3 tbsp diced green chiles
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used sliced Swiss cheese)
Crushed corn flakes or buttered bread crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter

Put 1/4 cup melted butter in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Mix the parsley and chives into the potatoes and spread 1/2 of them over the melted butter in the baking dish. In a bowl, stir together the soup, sour cream, cottage cheese, and green chiles. Spread this over the potatoes. Put a layer of cheese (use about 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese or 1 layer of sliced cheese).

Cover with more potatoes and top with the crumbs. Drizzle with the 1/4 cup melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly.

I don't know how well this freezes after baking, but I'll find out, because I'll have too much of it left over. The cottage cheese is optional - I just wanted to use some up.

How do you measure the grounds for coffee? I use a tablespoon, and put one generous spoon per cup of water (as measured by those lines on the pot). Those scoops that used to come in the can are 2 tablespoons, and it was supposed to be one scoop per cup, so that would be stronger than I make it. I compensate for this by buying a strong dark roast. My pot here is a percolator, but in Las Vegas we use a drip pot that has settings like "Stronger." I'm not sure how it works for stronger - maybe the coffee maker somehow slows down how fast the water goes through the grounds.

The lines on the pot are for 6 ounce cups, I'm pretty sure, but I don't know. Yes, I could go all Mythbusters and measure it, but I don't care that much, it's just one of those things.

Time for a late leisurely breakfast here — thank you for the hash browns inspiration!

The next day I found out the potato dish is called Funeral Potatoes because it's perfect for that situation. I never got a chance to see how it freezes because it got eaten in two days. Very good.

It's the best use for those frozen hash browns at my house because otherwise they seem to just soak up grease.
