Funeral Potatoes

Jump to recipe ▼

Ingredients (~8 servings)

  • 1 (30 oz) bag frozen hash browns, thawed
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups corn flakes, crushed

Preheat Oven and Prep Your Dish

Get your oven to 350F with a rack in the center position.

Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish – I just use butter or cooking spray.

Mix the Potato Base

In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 1/4 cup of the melted butter, Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar.

Mix until everything is well combined – the hash browns should be completely coated.

Transfer this mixture to your prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

Make the Cornflake Topping

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter with the crushed corn flakes.

The flakes should be well coated but not soggy.

Sprinkle this evenly over the entire casserole.

Bake Until Golden and Bubbling

Bake for ~50-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

You’ll know it’s done when the cornflake topping is crispy and the cheese is melted all the way through.

Let it cool for ~5 minutes before serving – this helps it set up so it doesn’t fall apart when you scoop it.

Funeral Potatoes

This is the casserole that shows up to every potluck and gets scraped clean every time. It’s basically hash browns bound with sour cream and cheese, then topped with crushed cornflakes for crunch.
