Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter divided
- ¾ cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (30 ounce) bag of frozen shredded hash brown potatoes thawed, or 12 small potatoes, parboiled and shredded
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese firmly packed, divided
- 1 ½ cups crushed cornflake cereal or panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized skillet; add the onions and cook them until transparent. Add the garlic and cook it until aromatic. Remove from the heat and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the onion mixture with the hash browns, condensed soup, sour cream, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese.
- Spread the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the crushed cornflake crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until cooked through and bubbling.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Pioneer Woman’s Funeral Potatoes are great because you can prepare them ahead of time. Simply, make the Pioneer Woman’s Funeral Potatoes recipe as suggested, but leave out the cornflakes and breadcrumbs before refrigerating it until you are ready to bake it. If you have time, remove it from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Then, make the topping, place it on top or the potatoes, and cook the casserole according to the cooking directions.
- Potatoes: This Pioneer Woman Funeral Potatoes dish may be made with shredded potatoes or country-style hash browns (cubed potatoes). The shredded is my favorite.
- Cook the Potatoes: Make your hash browns by parboiling 12 small potatoes and grating them once cooled.
- To Top or Not to Top: If you like, you may omit the topping. The crunchy topping becomes mushy on leftover potatoes, so if you know you’ll have leftover Pioneer Woman’s Funeral Potatoes, you may want to skip the topping. The potatoes will still be incredibly delicious!
- Storing Leftovers: You can store Pioneer Woman’s Funeral Potato leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. They are almost even better the next day!
- Make it a Meal: Add diced ham, chicken, or bacon to the potatoes to turn this side dish into a main dish!
