2.)Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain,crumble,and set aside.

3.) In the prepared baking dish, stir together the shredded potaotoes and butter. Line the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the mixture. In abowl, mix the sausage, cheddar cheese, onion, cottage cheese, and egg. Pour over mixture.

4.) Bake 1 hour in the oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
