A cheesy and comforting hash brown casserole, often called ‘funeral potatoes,’ perfect for brunch or holiday dinners. This recipe includes options for shredded or diced potatoes and a crunchy cornflake topping. It can also be prepared ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (30 ounce) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, sour cream, milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the potato mixture.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole (without the cornflake topping) up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Add the topping and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
  • You can substitute diced hash browns for shredded if preferred.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a can of condensed cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup to the potato mixture.
  • This casserole is a great make-ahead brunch option.
