Funeral Potatoes A Crowd Favorite

Similar to a cheesy hashbrowns casserole, these potatoes are extra quick to prep and can be made well ahead of time.

For a special breakfast or brunch, serve them alongside eggs benedict with some fruit kabobs.

What are Funeral Potatoes?

Funeral Potatoes are an easy casserole dish that’s perfect for feeding a crowd!

This budget-friendly dish uses hashbrowns, cheese, sour cream, and soup, mixed together and baked until golden! It’s all topped off with a buttery cornflake topping.

We love funeral potatoes because they taste so crazy good.

They are so easy to make, economical, and can be served for any occasion.

Ingredients and Variations

POTATOES This recipe uses diced hash brown potatoes from the freezer. Any frozen (or pre-cooked) potatoes will work.

CHEESE Sharp cheddar cheese adds a bright, tangy flavor but use what’s in your cheese drawer. Cheese tends to melt best if you shred it yourself from a block.

EXTRAS Why not add jalapenos, broccoli, or even add diced ham or bacon bits!

TOPPING Crushed corn flakes are sprinkled on the top for a crispy, golden brown topping.

To use fresh potatoes, dice them 1/2″ or smaller and add them to salted boiling water. Cook about 7 minutes or just until tender. Cool slightly and proceed with the recipe.
Shredded hash browns make a great base just like the diced potatoes do, so feel free to sub them out as well!
