    This party potatoes recipe is the perfect dish to bring to your next gathering. Sometimes referred to as funeral potatoes, this warm potato and cheese casserole is topped with a crunchy corn flakes topping.

    Why this recipe works

    • Easy – Just a few simple ingredients are needed. Easy enough for a weeknight meal, Sunday dinner, or special occasion.
    • Great for a crowd – This dish is wonderful to bring to a family gathering, holiday dinners, friendsgiving, and pot lucks.

    Ingredients needed

    Frozen hash browns – We are using the diced hash browns but you can also use shredded hash browns, similar to this copycat Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole.

    Cheese – I like using sharp cheddar cheese but you could substitute with mild cheddar.

    Butter – Unsalted butter. Melt before mixing with the crushed corn flakes.

    Cream of chicken soup – Just one can is needed.

    Sour cream – This helps make the dish extra creamy.

    Onion – Diced onion is an optional ingredient but I think it adds a nice flavor. Make sure to dice them small.

    Seasonings – Onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper are used.

    Corn flakes – Use crushed cornflakes for the topping. Crush them using a rolling pin

    How to make party potatoes with corn flakes

    Recipe tips

    • This recipe can be made ahead of time. Assemble the casserole, cover with aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake and serve.
    • If you want to add a little color, sprinkle with fresh parsley or diced green onions after it’s finished cooking.

    Variations

    Topping – You can substitute corn flakes with crushed potato chips or butter crackers like Ritz crackers.

    Potatoes – Shredded hash browns can be used instead of the diced hash browns.

    Cheese – Try substituting with mild cheddar or a cheddar blend for a more mild flavor.

    Soup – Cream of chicken can be substituted with cream of mushroom soup.

    How to store funeral potatoes

    To store leftovers, let the baking dish completely cool. Cover with aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator. You can also transfer the remaining party potatoes to an airtight container to keep in the refrigerator.

    They can be reheated in the oven or in the microwave.

    If you would like to freeze, leave off the corn flake topping. Cover tightly and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
