Ingredients:
1/2 c. butter or margarine, divided
1 lb. country-style frozen hash browns, thawed
1/4 c. green onion, chopped
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 c. crushed corn flakes

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Melt 1/4 c. butter in an 8x8 casserole dish in the oven while it heats.  Meanwhile, combine hash browns, green onion, sour cream, cheese and soup in a large bowl.

Transfer mixture to the casserole dish after the butter has melted.  Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.  

Melt remaining 1/4 c. butter in the microwave, then mix with the crushed cornflakes.  Sprinkle on top of the potatoes evenly and bake for 15 minutes more.
