Sometimes you just want comfort food.
Cheese, potatoes, butter, sour cream….all baked together in one perfect dish. Sure, it’s not exactly health food, but it’s not intended to be. It’s the dish you bring to potlucks and sick friends, the one you serve at home to take the edge of an otherwise bad day.
The beauty of this mouthwatering cheesy potato casserole (sometimes also referred to as “Funeral Potatoes,”) is in its utter simplicity. It whips up in minutes, taking advantage of convenient pre-diced potatoes, and other ready-to-use ingredients.

I make this for over 20 years. But do not fry my onions. Reduce butter to 4 Tbsp melted. Which I mix up with 1 pint sour cream the cream of chicken soup the finely chopped onions and the 2 cups of shredded old cheddar. I then spread it over the hash brown potatoes on top. I do not use the potatoe chips to save fat and nobody misses it. I bake in oven at 375 for 30 mins then use a spoon and make little separations in pan to allow top of mixture to fall through a bit. Bake another 30 mins.

One of our favorite recipes but we substitute onions and sour cream with French onion chip dip. Oh so delicious!
