Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix frozen hash browns, cream of chicken soup, water, sour cream, onion, salt, pepper and shredded cheese.

- This delicious dish is often called funeral potatoes.
- Use frozen hash browns, not thawed.
- For less fat, use fat free or low fat sour cream.
- Fresh onion or dried minced onion can be used. Add to your preference. I typically use 1 tablespoon dried, minced onion or 1/2 - 1 cup diced onion.
- I typically use shredded cheddar cheese but you can sub in your favorite type of shredded cheese to change things up.
- Use anywhere from 1 to 2 cups shredded cheese, depending on how cheesy you like your crispy cheesy potato bake.
