Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30-45 minutes
Servings: 8
Equipment:
- 9×13-inch baking pan or 2-3 quart casserole dish
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
Ingredients:
- 6 cups diced potatoes
- 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated, divided
- 1/4 cup grated onion (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat your oven: Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees F to ensure it’s ready for baking the potato mixture.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, melted butter, sour cream, one cup of the grated cheddar cheese, and the grated onion if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix these ingredients until well combined to create a creamy base.
- Add the potatoes: Gently fold in the diced potatoes into the creamy mixture, making sure they are evenly coated to ensure consistent flavor throughout.
- Prepare the baking dish: Transfer the potato mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking pan or a 2-3 quart casserole dish. Spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
- Add more cheese: Sprinkle the remaining one cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the potato mixture. This will create a cheesy, golden crust as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top has melted and turned golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the funeral potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together even more and makes it easier to serve.
These Tasty Funeral Potatoes are not only a comfort food favorite but also a practical choice for feeding a crowd with minimal effort.
