Cheesy Potato Casserole

I love a good, cheesy potato casserole. This recipe comes together quickly, because there isn't much prep work involved. Other than finely dicing an onion, it is an assembly. The onion gives a nice background flavor. I used seasoned salt in place of regular.

I am sure you could use low fat ingredients (soup, sour cream, cheese, less butter).

I mixed up the potatoes in the morning and baked them just before serving at dinner. They also reheat very well.
