From the book “Being Dead is No Excuse; The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral” by Gayden Metcalfe and Charoltte Hays. It is a hilarious book with great stories and fantastic southern recipes.
This is a great potato casserole. It is not for those people on a diet!
serves 8-10

Combine hashbrowns, onion, sour cream, cheese, soup, salt and pepper. Put in greased 9×13 dish. Top with crushed cornflakes and dot with butter.

Love these. They are always a crowd pleaser. I've got some in the oven right now for my church lunch. Its a Baptist church, so I guess I'll have to come up with a new name for them 😉
I love these! Around my neck of the woods we call them funeral potatoes. And I top mine with crushed croutons, since I almost never have cornflakes around.
