Funeral Potatoes is a comforting casserole of tender hash browns bound in a rich blend of sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter and savory seasonings, then studded with sharp cheddar. A buttery corn-flake topping bakes up golden and crisp, adding a satisfying crunch to each creamy forkful. Perfect for potlucks or family gatherings, it’s an easy make-ahead crowd-pleaser.

  6. Melt 4 tbsp of butter and add to corn flakes. Mix well, then spread over the potatoes.
