Funeral Potatoes
Description
This casserole combines thawed hash browns with a mixture of sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, sautéed onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. The mixture is placed in a greased 9x13-inch dish and topped with a blend of crushed cornflakes and melted butter for a crunchy finish. Additional cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top before baking.
Baked at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, the casserole becomes bubbly and golden brown. The potatoes remain tender and creamy, balanced by the crispy cornflake crust. The dish’s layers of cheese, soup, and sour cream create a rich, comforting flavor typical of traditional casseroles.
Funeral Potatoes work well as a side dish for family meals and potlucks. They pair nicely with roasted meats or salads. This recipe can also be adapted using fresh potatoes parboiled before assembling for a similar texture.
Leftover casserole should be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 to 4 days to maintain quality.
