Variations and Ingredients

POTATOES

CHEESE

Use whichever cheeses you have in your cheese cabinet. Sharp cheddar cheese offers a vibrant, acidic flavor. If you shred the cheese yourself from a block, it usually melts the best.

EXTRAS

Why not use jalapenos, broccoli, or even ham or bacon bits in chopped form?

TOPPING

For a crispy, golden-brown topping, crushed corn flakes are sprinkled on top.

Making Funeral Potatoes

This dish will be ready for the oven in a matter of minutes and is simple, delicious, and foolproof!

1. Make a casserole dish greased. Make the topping and reserve it.
2. Butter-sauteed onion is combined with sour cream, soup, and some cheese. Add pepper and salt to taste.
3. Add the potatoes and pour them into the casserole. Crush the remaining cornflakes and sprinkle them on top. Bake until the top is bubbling and browned.

Fresh potatoes should be diced into pieces that are 1/2 inch or smaller and added to salted boiling water. Cook for just until tender, about 7 minutes. After a brief cooling, continue with the process.

Feel free to substitute hash browns in instead of diced potatoes since they also make a fantastic basis.

• Simply reheat a portion or two of funeral potatoes in the microwave for a few minutes, or toast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 325°F!
