Make this classic, cheesy potato casserole, often called Funeral Potatoes, for your next gathering. It uses simple ingredients like frozen hashbrowns and sour cream to create a comforting, crowd-pleasing side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds frozen shredded hashbrown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the thawed hashbrown potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  3. Spread the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the potato mixture.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the topping is golden brown.
  6. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you serve it. This is a great make ahead casserole recipe.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • You can prepare this cheesy potato casserole completely ahead of time. Cover it and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then add 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
  • If you prefer a different topping, substitute the cornflakes with crushed potato chips for a Pioneer Woman Funeral Potatoes style crunch.
