Deepthi's Potato Bake.. Oooh Pardon, Gratin

Deepthi learnt this from the family she stayed with in France last year. She'd made it today to welcome her Mom home. I was the fortunate person who picked her Mom up from the airport and who was asked to stay for (my second) lunch. Despite being full from my own lunch of fried chicken (Farzana's) and this, I easily managed second helpings.

Place frozen hash browns on a shallow baking tray (Deepthi had used one with about 1/2 an inch rim). Top with peeled raw potato slices. Sprinkle some chopped red and green pepper over. Now combine cream of mushroom and/or (confirm this) cream of celery (as per the original recipe, but D used potato soup) soups with some sour cream. Bake (or grill?) until the potatoes are nearly done. Now sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake until golden.
