2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 package (32 ounces) frozen cubed hash brown potatoes |

1 can (11 ounces) mexicorn, drained |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies |
1/4 cup pearl onions |
sour cream and minced fresh cilantro, optional |
Directions:
