Step-By-Step Instructions

To begin making the cheesy potato recipe, start by adding the cubed potatoes to a large bowl. 

I used frozen potatoes because it just makes life easier around here. They don’t have to be frozen in order to cook them, though.

I sort of break them up while they are still in the bag, that way they aren’t stuck together.

Next, add the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. 

For this recipe, I used sharp cheddar cheese. You can use mild or sharp, depending on your preference.

Now, pour the condensed cream of chicken soup into the bowl. 

If you don’t have any cream of chicken soup you can make the homemade version here.

Add the sour cream.

I love sour cream. There are so many dishes that include sour cream, such as this Jiffy Cornbread recipe, and it makes them so much more moist, as well as dips that are easy to make and perfect for parties.

Sprinkle the onion seasoning, salt, and pepper on top and mix it all together. 

Once you have everything mixed together, slide the cheesy potato casserole into the casserole dish and spread it out.

Place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. 

Remove the funeral potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the Corn Flakes on top. 

Melt the butter and pour it over the Corn Flakes and return to the oven for 20 more minutes. 

The recipe creates a soft potato inside and a crunchy topping. And the buttery Corn Flakes on top are delicious.

How To Store The Funeral Potatoes

Store the funeral potatoes in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap. You will need to keep it refrigerated until you are ready to reheat them again.

How To Reheat The Funeral Potatoes

You can reheat the potatoes in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl for about two minutes.

You will not have a crispy topping when reheating in the microwave.

What If I Don’t Have Cream Of Chicken Soup?

You can use another soup such as cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, or cream of potato soup. But, it will create a little bit of a different flavor.
