What’s in this Funeral potatoes Recipe
This recipe for funeral potatoes features inexpensive ingredients, most of which you might already have on hand!
Hash Browns: You’ll need frozen diced hash browns for this easy recipe. Let them fully thaw prior to using. Butter: I like to use salted butter for that extra touch of flavor. Feel free to use unsalted if preferred. Onion: You can use a white or yellow onion. Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup: This is what helps give the casserole the best thick and creamy consistency. Heavy Cream: To keep the filling creamy, try not to substitute this ingredient with any other dairy product. Cheddar Cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar cheese will provide the very best flavor and consistency. Seasonings: I like to use a combo of ground mustard, garlic powder, salt and black pepper for the best flavor. Cornflakes Cereal: Remember to crush your cereal before using it.
PRO TIP: Mix up your toppings! Try topping these with Ritz crackers, potato chips or panko breadcrumbs.
Can you make funeral potatoes without cream of chicken soup?
I don’t recommend it. Cream of chicken soup is what holds everything together and gives the casserole its signature creamy consistency that’s deliciously thick.
How to Store/Reheat
In an airtight container in the fridge, funeral potatoes will stay good for up to 3 days. Reheat for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave until warmed all the way through.
How to Freeze
You can freeze the uncooked dish, without topping, for up to 3 months and thaw in the fridge overnight before baking.
