Cheesy Potato Bake

On the menu for dinner tonight I am going to make this wonderful dish!  With some type of bread, not sure which though, maybe the Italian Bread with some Sauteed Cherry Tomatoes or maybe some fried green beans with garlic slivers...we will just have to see what sounds good then...

6 cups shredded potatoes
6 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of cheddar soup
1 can milk
1 24 oz tub sour cream
1/4 cup melted butter
(optional: chives, green onions, bacon bits, ham to taste)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Mix potatoes, 4 cups cheese, cheddar soup, milk, sour cream, and melted butter in a large baking dish.  If desired add chives, green onions, bacon bits, or ham and mix well.
3. Top with remaining 2 cups of cheese and sprinkle with chives.
4. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
