Cheesy Potato Casserole – aka Funeral Potatoes – a simple side dish that tastes great! It makes a lot so it is perfect for a crowd. Frozen shredded hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Top the casserole with crushed cornflakes and melted butter. Can make casserole in advance and freeze for a super quick side dish later.

Pin This RecipeWe love potato casseroles and this one was no exception. It was creamy, cheesy, and, most of all, delicious! This makes a ton so it is great for potlucks, dinner parties, and the holidays. Since there are only two of us at our house, I always divide the potato mixture between three disposable foil pans and freeze two for later. It is such a timesaver!
This Cheesy Potato Casserole is super easy to make. Simply mix together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheese, frozen shredded hash browns, salt, and pepper. Spoon the potato mixture into a baking dish. Crush some cornflakes and toss with melted butter. Spread the cornflakes on top of the potatoes and bake.
There is no need to thaw the potatoes before making the casserole. I used cheddar cheese, but you can use any type of cheese you prefer. If you are looking for a gluten-free recipe, feel free to leave off the cornflakes or use gluten-free cornflakes. Also, look for gluten-free cream of chicken soup at Walmart.

Is there anyway to make these amazing potatoes in a crockpot or roaster?
This cooks fine in a slow cooker
In WV we call this "Hash Brown Casserole. Instead of sour cream we use french onion dip. It makes it more Kid friendly!
This a staple at our house (its an Idaho thing) just to add to your already awesome recipe, bake at 400 degrees it makes them crispy on the edges!

ummm, bet this will be perfect to go with our pork tenderloin. Thanks so much.
That is an oldie but a goodie. Everyone has their own version and name. My sister calls the Funeral Potatoes because she always brings them to the funeral luncheons. I know it's morbid! But we all love them. I prefer to call them Harvest potatoes.
It's that chicken in the back that looks so good to me right now!
Kate – that is our Smokehouse Chicken. It is awesome!!
It looks and sounds delicious and my eye was really caught by the piece of meat behind it. I have to believe the leftover casserole would be great for breakfast topped with an egg.
Everything I have made from you, is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!
My hubby works for a potato company so I get a lot of free potatoes. It pretty awesome. Always looking fro recipes like this.
You're the best.
I have a recipe very similar and it is sooooo good. Next time I make it I am going to add chopped chicken and make it an all in one meal. Yum!
MMM!! I think I will make this and add either some bacon or sausage to this and take to church for Easter breakfast!! THanks for sharing 🙂
