Funeral Potatoes Recipe
Description
This Funeral Potatoes recipe uses thawed and cubed hash browns mixed with cooked, softened onion, sour cream, cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, salt, and pepper. The mixture is spread in a greased baking dish and then topped with cornflakes sautéed in butter until lightly browned, creating a crispy crust during baking.
Baked at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes, the casserole becomes bubbly and golden, with a creamy interior texture balanced by the crunchy topping. The creamy base combines tangy sour cream with savory cheddar and soup for depth of flavor alongside the mild potatoes.
This dish serves well as a comforting side particularly at potlucks or family meals. Its hearty nature pairs with roasted meats and simple vegetable sides or can be a standalone vegetarian option if cream of chicken soup is substituted.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter divided
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 pounds hash browns thawed and cubed, diced
- 2 .75 ounce condensed cream of chicken soup canned
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups corn flakes lightly crushed, cereal
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked onions, hash browns, 1/2 cup (1 stick/8 tablespoons) of melted butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Scoop this mixture into a greased 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
- In a skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted. Add the slightly crushed corn flake cereal and saute, stirring often, until lightly browned; about 2-3 minutes. Spread the browned corn flakes over top of the casserole.
