Creamy potato casserole - need to discuss some ingrediences
Hi,
I need to translate a recipe for creamy potato casserole, and I'm struggling with some of the ingrediences. I'd like to ask (someone who knows the dish) to help me with these:
sour cream = thick, sour yoghurt?
a bag of frozen hash brown potatoes = something like frozen Frech fries (Br. chips)?
a can of cream of potato soup - any idea what this could be substituted with? The thing is that here in the Czech Republic, I only get various dry mixtures for a quick soup.
Many thanks for any help!

Sour cream is a different thing than thick, sour youghurt, but you could probably substitute that and it won't make much difference in the recipe. It's probably a more healthful alternative, as well. ).

- I don't think frozen french fries would be a very good substitute for that because the texture would be wrong.
- You might just want to shred your own potatos and fry them in a little oil until brown and crisp with diced onions and peppers.

Thanks, Sam. Just one more thing: are green onions a special kind of onion? (I mean I've never seen an onion that was green, that's why I'm asking:-) ) But I don't suppose that matters, just curious.

Green onions are young shoots of bulb onions, and are milder tasting than large bulb onions. They have a small, not fully developed white bulb end with long green shoots..
