Party Potatoes

This is my variation of a classic hashbrown casserole (also known as funeral potatoes, but that name is a bit too morbid for the holiday table). I use a homemade condensed cream of chicken soup rather than canned for this recipe. The cornflake topping is optional, but I like the crunch that it adds to the overall texture. This can be assembled a day in advance...see step 7 for those instructions.

  6. 2 cupsshredded cheddar cheese, divided
  7. Optional Topping :
  8. 2 cupscornflakes, crushed
  9. 1/4 cupunsalted butter, melted

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13" pan with foil and grease it. Set it aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, place the hashbrowns, condensed soup, sour cream, onion, seasonings and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Stir it all together until it's all well combined.

  3. 3

    Pour the hashbrown mixture into the prepared baking dish and top it with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Cover the baking dish with foil.

  4. 4

    Bake covered For an initial 40 minutes. For the cornflake topping, if using, just combine the crushed cornflakes and melted butter in a bowl until combined and the cornflakes are all moistened.

  5. 5

    After the initial 40 minutes, remove the foil from the top of the baking dish. If you're using the cornflake topping, then spread it over the top now. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Let this stand for 5 or so minutes, then serve and enjoy. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

  7. 7

    If making this ahead of time, do everything through step 3. But once you cover the dish, place it in the fridge. Once you're ready to bake it, take it out and let it sit for 20 or so minutes to bring it back closer to room temperature, then bake as directed.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
