At a funeral luncheon (or as they called it "a dead spread"!) I ate a delicious cheesy potato casserole and would like to know the recipe. It used frozen little (half-inch) cubed potatoes, few onions and a fairly cheesy sauce, then baked till browned. Anyone know this?

This sounds like the one using frozen hash browns, mushroom soup, cheese and onions. My friend calls it "Potato Supreme"

I have a recipe for something similar, except the potatoes were sliced and placed in the pan alternating a potato slice and an onion slice and then covered with cheese.

Here is a recipe using frozen hash brown potatoes - but the diced ones might work as well.

You can also use almost any other flavor of "cream" soup - cream of mushroom, cream of celery, cream of potato - - instead of Cream of Chicken.

I looked up several recipes for this - and the amounts of various ingredients varied from recipe to recipe - so there is a lot of leeway when this made.

I've always used the crushed potato chips for the topping.

Here you go.
Funeral Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 packages of Simply Potatoes shredded hash browns*
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 16 oz sour cream
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/3 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1 cup corn flakes, crushed + 2 Tbsp melted butter

*Note: These are packages of refrigerated hash browns. You can substitute about 40 oz of frozen hash browns, but you’ll need to thaw them beforehand!

Melt the 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan on your stovetop.

Add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheese, and green onions to the pan. Stir over low-medium heat until the cheese has melted and everything is well combined. Remove from heat.

Spread hash browns evenly across the bottom of a 9” x 13” baking dish.

Pour the creamy, cheesy mixture from the saucepan over the top of the potatoes. Spread it into an even layer with a spatula.

Stir together the crushed corn flakes and the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

Then sprinkle the corn flakes mixture over the top of the potatoes and cream mixture.

Put the baking dish into your oven, and bake for 45 minutes at 325 degrees. When the top is golden brown and the potatoes are hot and bubbly, you’ll know it’s done! Let it stand for 15 minutes. Then dig in and enjoy!

For the ones I make - I have found it's easier to just smush the ingredients together by hand like I'm mixing meatloaf. My hands do get pretty cold, though, if the potatoes are still cold.

I have one that is very similar to bears & Jan's but I add bacon bits to mine. Yummy!

This board is the greatest! Thanks so much. I have printed out the recipes and filed them in my cookbook. Now I will make this for supper. Got hungry just reading them. Have some leftover ham to use and think it would taste good with potatoes, and of course green beans for my husband.

All this needs is bacon and a heart transplant.
