Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- In a large pan over medium heat, add butter. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and sauté 3 to 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over the softened onions, then whisk for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Add salt and pepper, then continue to cook, whisking frequently, until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in sour cream.
- In a large bowl, combine the thawed and drained shredded potatoes, sauce, and cheese. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Spread the cheesy potato mixture into a large 9x13" baking dish and press into an even layer.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, until heated through and bubbly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes with 1/4 cup melted butter. Toss together with a fork to coat the cornflakes with butter, then sprinkle over the top of the cheesy potatoes.
- Bake, uncovered, for another 15 minutes until hot, toasted, and bubbling.
Notes
- Storage: Leftover funeral potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Make-Ahead & Freeze: Baked or unbaked funeral potatoes can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight, then reheat in a 350°F oven for about 40 minutes or until heated through and crispy on top.
