How to make our Funeral Potatoes recipe
To start this recipe, get an oven preheating to 350 degrees and grease up a 9×13 baking dish. After that, shred your cheddar cheese and then set aside.
In a large bowl, we’re going to start getting our potato filling mixed up. Combine your sour cream, cream of chicken soup, some melted butter, salt & pepper, garlic & onion powders, and paprika. Thoroughly mix until consistent.
To this mixture, we’re going to add our cubed potatoes and a good part of our shredded cheese- reserve some for later. Stir until well-mixed.
With our filling all mixed up, we can finally transfer it to your baking dish. Try to fill your baking dish as evenly as possible before topping with your reserved cheese.
Now we’re going to deal with our cornflake topping. Rather than add them directly on top of our potatoes, we’re going to give our corn flakes a quick mix with some melted butter. Add melted butter to corn flakes and stir well.
Once your corn flakes are nice and coated with butter, sprinkle them over top your potatoes. Finally, we can get this thing cooking!
Move your dish into the oven and allow it to cook. In about 45 – 50 minutes, your potatoes should be getting bubbly underneath your browned cornflake topping. When it’s reached this point, it should be ready to pull.
After pulling your baking dish from the oven, allow to sit for a couple of minutes- you’ll want to enjoy these cheesy potatoes while they’re still warm! Once they’ve cooled enough to eat, scoop out a healthy portion, plate it up, and enjoy!
