Funeral Potatoes is a comforting casserole of tender hash browns bound in a rich blend of sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter and savory seasonings, then studded with sharp cheddar. A buttery corn-flake topping bakes up golden and crisp, adding a satisfying crunch to each creamy forkful. Perfect for potlucks or family gatherings, it’s an easy make-ahead crowd-pleaser. I modified the recipe to use fresh onions and add some parmesan to the crust. Also it definitely does not serve 12.
