Our Favorite Potato Side Dish
Cheesy Potato Casserole is a staple for feeding large groups of people. Most church potlucks, family gatherings or large luncheons feature some sort of take on this casserole dish alongside a ham, salad and rolls. There are dozens of variations to this recipe, but this one has been a family favorite of ours for generations.
We make this cheesy potatoes recipe every year for our Easter dinner as it goes perfectly with Easter ham and all the trimmings. This cheesy potato casserole recipe is also a perfect side dish at numerous Christmas, Thanksgiving, basically any holiday dinner in our family. No matter what you serve it with or where you serve it, you’ll absolutely love this cheesy potato recipe.
Ingredients in Cheesy Potato Casserole
Here’s our tried and true recipe for cheesy potatoes. They always turn out delicious and get devoured quickly!
- Hash Brown Potatoes – I like using the frozen shredded hash brown potatoes. Thaw the potatoes before adding the rest of the ingredients.
- Salt – about three teaspoons, or to taste
- Black pepper – to taste
- Grated cheddar cheese – Use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor!
- Butter – this recipe calls for half cup butter or one stick.
- Cream of chicken soup – some recipes call for cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup, but I don’t like the flavor as well as good old cream of chicken soup.
- Sour cream – this gives the potato mixture extra creaminess that is so delicious!
- Milk – any kind of milk works for this recipe.
- Cornflakes – regular corn flake cereal, crushed to make two cups. Any brand will do.
Corn Flake Topping Substitutes
It may sound strange to you, but I promise you will love the crunchy corn flake topping. Adding a couple of cups of crushed corn flakes gives this Potato casserole a golden brown crust, a delightful crunch and a nutty, buttery flavor that goes so well with all the cheese and cream in the potatoes. However here are some other topping ideas if you don’t have Cornflakes on hand:
- Potato chips
- Ritz crackers
- Panko breadcrumbs
- Other crushed crackers or plain cereal

Questions about Cheesy Potato Casserole
Try plain Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.
Cheesy potato casserole uses shredded cheese and hash browns or diced potatoes. Scalloped potatoes are sliced and use a cheese sauce made with heavy cream and a flour and butter roux.
Yes, this is a great one to make the night before. Just add everything but the topping, cover with plastic wrap, and keep in the fridge. Then when you are ready to make it just bring the casserole to room temperature, add the topping, and bake.

My all time FAVORITE potato recipe to use. I’m a cheese lover to start with bit with the cream cheese and sour cream, oh my! THE BEST
Potatoes can be prepared in so many different ways. They are such a versatile ingredient to use. Mashed Potatoes can get easily overused. I love casserole dishes as sides. All those ingredients meld together to make a delicious dish that becomes a family favorite.
Love this. My family is all about cheese so they love it too!
Great simple versatile but filling recipe
This is definitely something the whole family will like, even the kids. I like that it is an easy recipe so when you are in a hurry on Easter it can be done in a flash. Great recipe!
Definitely doing this recipe for Easter 😊
My family loves this recipe. We make it at least 1x per month. Sometimes we make it just as a side dish or we add breakfast sausage and have it as a dinner meal. Breakfast for dinner is awesome! This is a versatile dish.
Comfort food!
I would add onions, an skip topping, add extra cheese on top
It looks like a great recipe. I am not a cheese person but my family is so this will be on my Easter table.
5 stars love this recipe! Can even mix it up with different toppings, even Durkee onions is really good for the topping. Adds flavor and crunch!
The cornflakes on top are a unique change. Everyone raved about this dish.
LOVE THE FLAVOR AND THE CRUNCH!!! I DO ADD EXTRA CHEESE!!
A family favorite! Easy to prepare and so tasty!
This is one of my family’s favorites to go with hot ham sandwiches.
This is a family favorite! It goes fast, and if you’re lucky the leftovers are fantastic!
This is one of my favorite recipes. It is a go to recipe that we make frequently for special occasions, holidays, birthday, BBQ’s or just because we can. Love the flavor, texture and all the ingredients. Never a miss for a pot luck. It is the best…
My family loved this recipe! It was easy to make , so full of flavour & goes perfect with any type of meat .
I first ate this dish at Homecoming at our Baptist Church and got it every year when it was found on the table. I’ve looked for this recipe forever with no luck. Now I have it and will be cooking it. Oh my goodness.
Started making this for church affairs and always went home with an empty container and requests for the recipe.
This is so yummy. There were no leftovers when the meal was finished. Everyone raved about it.
🌟🌟
This is a staple recipe at our house. It’s great for casual days, holidays, meals taken to others, all of it! Flavorful potatoes that pair with many foods and reheat wonderfully to be enjoyed again and again. The kids love them too, which is always a giant plus!
A must for all of our get togethers. It is a dish for everyone. We add ham and a veggie if we want to bump it up to a casserole.
I really enjoy this recipe. it’s honestly is one of the best recipes to do on Easter.
These are my favorite potatoes for Easter! So easy and don’t have to worry about peeling potatoes, or making gravy!
I love potatoes so any new recipe I see I will try. Have this one on my menu for Easter Dinner because it looks great!
Perfect for an easy side dish!
I love having this ready to bake the day before. Such a timesaver on a busy day!
Only change would be less salt added. Otherwise, perfect.
Very satisfying recipe. A comfort food for sure.
Loved it
The corn flakes gave a great crunch
In my family we call these yummy potatoes and using frozen shredded hashbrowns is the only was to go! I can eat a pan of these myself, always a crowd pleaser! I personally leave the cornflakes off and just do extra cheese!
haha I love that. I definitely agree they are “Yummy potatoes”!
This recipe is a favorite at my house, anytime of year
I love the fact that this recipe can be made ahead of time then put into the oven to cook the day of your event/holiday while you’re preparing other dishes at the same time!
Who doesn’t love potatoes with cheese? Yum!
Cheesy, creamy deliciousness!!!
A family favorite at annual parties
This casserole is a regular for Easter dinnet as well as many family memers. Everyone love it and asks for it!!
A great potato idea to go with the ham. With church only an hour, it can be baking while I’m gone. Thanks.
Cheese and Potatoes…Hello, can’t go wrong. And like the notes suggest….add your favs. Mine, onions and bacon. YUM!!
This recipe is perfect for all holidays. It’s easy and my whole family loves it.
Delicious & loved by all
Everyone loves these..they turned out perfectly
My daughter makes this recipe for our family. Sometimes we have it for breakfast with eggs and bacon or sausage. Sometimes we have it with our Easter dinner.
Anything I can get my kids to eat while sneaking in more veggies is fantastic! They really don’t care for mac and cheese but, they loved this casserole even though I put cauliflower and broccoli in it. The adults loved it as well.
This is become a family favorite in our house. My kids love it. I will for sure be making it for Easter. We also just add some cooked chicken with it and that’s delicious as well. The leftovers don’t last longer than a day.❤️
Easy no fuss side for Easter dinner or anytime. Family will request this as a potato side dish.
The whole family, young and old love this potato dish. I make it at every gathering and I love the ease of putting it together. It goes with almost every main dish like burgers, ribs, steaks, Christmas and Easter ham. It’s also easy to switch up the ingredients with different cream soups, cheeses and toppings. It always turns out great.
I’ve made this for many holiday and/or potlucks. EVERYONE loves it! It is so quick and easy to make and it always turns out delicious.
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I’m going to use two packages of Town House crackers mixed with butter instead of using corn flakes. I love that onions are included! Delicious! Thank you so very much for sharing all these delicious recipes!
FAVORITE FAMILY RECIPES brings back memories. My Grandmother made this dish, and yes, it was called funeral potatoes. Over the years, we dropped the name and changed a couple of things. Grandma used cornflakes. Skipping to today, I use diced potatoes, or even O’Brian. Caramelized onions, and crushed potato chips. Or we change out the caramelized to the crunchy onions. Just a great side dish for whenever.
The reason I gave this recipe a 5 star rating is because I love potatoes. In fact, at times I eat too much potatoes. Also, I love so, so much cheese as well. This dish is great not only during Easter, but a family can enjoy this dish at any time of the year. With the sour cream and cream of chicken soup, a person could only imagine the extra, extra flavor as well. What tops this casserole off is the corn flakes.
Couldn’t agree more! The Corn Flake topping is SO good! Thanks so much for the 5-stars!
Absolutely love the flavor
Made this and was so good. Made with a meatloaf.
It even tastes great cold, some days later!
This is a favorite cheesy potato casserole.We love taters down south about any way you fix them. I love the crunchy flakes, it makes it just right. Have a Happy Easter ya’ll.
looks great
dear kids i call you that because im 92 have using your recipes i love the easy one great for me less to do I make the cheese potatoand leftover ham have a happy easter so good
Thank you so much Dolores! Your comment made me smile 🙂 Have a wonderful Easter!
I make this often and it seems even the most “picky” eaters love it! When the grandkids are over, I add some ground beef or chicken and it makes a great main entree! Simple & quick!
This is always a favorite potato recipe wether for Easter or family get togethers it’s so easy to put together and be ready to go have some fun.
my family loves potato casseroles andthey have decided that this is the only one they want from now on. it is delicious and even better it it easy to make. its a keeper
Dependable side dish recipe that everyone enjoys. It’s easily adaptable to my homemade cream soup base, too.
Really great and family loved it. Grandkids helped to make and they didn’t want to try the cereal so we used bread crumbs.
Breadcrumbs are always a great option too!
These are DELICIOUS and easy to make any time of year. My house hold loves these potatoes.
Love this cheesy potato dish. I could eat all the time.
This Dish Sounds So Yummy! I Would Like To Make It With Fresh Cut Up Potatoes.
Great classic recipe! I don’t do cereal but substitute panko for the crusty topping.
This casserole is by far the best tasting I’ve made. I make it for guests and they can’t get enough. Such a crowd pleaser.
Love that I can substitute my own potatoes as well as yogurt for the sour cream. Making this to take to the in-laws for Easter dinner.
I have loved this recipe since the first time I tasted it. It’s easy to make and most people really like it.
This recipe is simple enough and i have the frozen hash browns which my husband bought but hasn’t touched yet. I may use panko if i don’t have or buy corn flakes in time for making this recipe. Suggesting Campbell’s chicken cream soup was good as i also have the mushroom and celery cream soups. Glad i came upon this recipe using the frozen has browns.
Along with the ham, I’m also making this dish. I LOVE this Easter menu! This would be great with a variety of toppings, including buttery crackers. How about pretzels?!? I’m also making the ‘Sweet Sauteed Asparagus’ and the ‘Chessmen Banana Pudding’. Thanks!
Buttery crackers would be delicious, not sure about pretzels though. It could be good! If you try it let us know how it turns out! Sounds like you have a fantastic Easter menu!
I want to try thos recipe, but I’m a little taken back w the cereal on top.
I only cooked w corn flakes when I’m making my chicken, but never on top as a crunching factor on my potatoes. Interesting.
This is a recipe that “goes far”. It is great for “dishes to pass” at church functions.
Most of the ingredients we already have in the house, so it is convenient to make.
Thank you.
This is an easy dish to make when I run out of ideas! It is warm and delicious on a cold, rainy day! It’s simple but so delicious!
Yummy!
Easy to make and delicious. Always a hit
Love the toppings. Very easy to make. It always turns out great. Wonderful for all occasions.
Sounds very interesting and not too difficult. Will have to make this.
Scrumptious and oh so good!!!
So easy to make with ingredients I usually have on hand and so many ways to serve it, if there’s any left.
This is the 1st time I have tried this recipe, but I love hash browns and cheese, so what is not to like. It was so creamy and delicious, everyone just loved it. I will make it again very soon.
This is my go to recipe for potatoes for my family’s gatherings. Everyone likes then from the 2 years old to the 80 year old. You can’t go wrong with these.
Easy to make and can be in made in a crock pot.
This recipe to me tastes better than the potatoes at the popular restaurant, I follow this recipe but use Ritz for the topping.
This is my favorite dish! Everything comfort food should be!
An easy recipe for when you have a large family gathering and it tastes delicious. I would recommend this recipe to anyone.
Anything with potato and cheese is a winner with me
I love this recipe, especially for potluck dinners. I never bring home leftovers! I never have cornflakes on hand, so I use buttery crackers such as Townhouse or Ritz instead. I just crumble them and stir in about four tablespoons of melted butter and use this as the topping. I also add about two teaspoons of minced, dried onion for flavor. Scrumptious!
This is a hit at all of the family gathering or potlucks that I bring it to. I’ve tried it with various toppings. They all came out very tasty.
For the corn flakes on top. Do I mix butter with them before putting them on top or just put them on top and drizzle butter on them?
I’d like to make this recipe tomorrow. Do I use salted or unsalted butter?
I use salted butter. Thanks for asking!
Substitute cornflakes with crushed Cruncky Cheetos.
I’ll have to try that! Maybe even hot Cheetos!
I just read your recipe!!! I can’t wait to make it. I know I will love it!!!👌👍👏🤗
I made this for Easter and even my picky family members really liked it. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Soooo good. I wasn’t sure about the corn flakes, but they added the perfect amount of crunch. Tasty.
My family loves these potatoes!!
Is it possible to prep this the day before, put in fridge, add cornflakes day of and bake?
Yes, absolutely!
If you double the recipe, does it need to cook a little longer or just an hour still?
It will need to cook longer if you double it. Are you putting it in two pans or one larger one?
Yummy
I’ve always had this recipe my entire life. My mom made it and it was always a hit.
By the way, scalloped potatoes do not contain cheese. Scalloped potatoes are simply thinly sliced potatoes layered with pats of butter and then just heavy cream is poured over and pats of butter. I’m sorry I get frustrated. Au gratin has cheese scallops does not. That’s the difference.
Soooooo yummy and easiest recipe I found, with fewest steps and ingredients. Keeper!!
Best way to reheat if taking over to someone’s house today for Easter?
In the oven! Heat at 350 until warm all the way through.
Hi Emily — just wondering if the hashbrowns should be thawed out ahead of time? Thank you, Darce
Nope! They can go right in from the freezer.
I just made these last night except I added kielbasa & made it a meal… Absolutely delish!!!
I love your recipes, this one included! An Easter dinner must have, the fam goes crazy over it. Thanks for helping me being delicious dishes to our table 🙂
I love your recipes, this one included! An Easter dinner must have, the fam goes crazy over it! Thanks for helping me bring delicious dishes to our table 🙂
I love cheesy potatoes!
Could I add cooked bacon on top after cooking and below the corn flakes? Have you tried that before?
I haven’t tried that but it sounds delicious!
Do you use frozen hashbrowns ?
Yes, we do!
These are my favorite go-to side dish with just about everything! They are usually the first thing gone!! Super cheesy & delicious!!
Do you defrost the potatoes first?
Nope! You put them in frozen.
Most recipes call for thawing potatoes . I do think they bake more thoroughly this way. Otherwise the center sometimes doesn,t heat all the way . Also if you use shredded hash browns instead of the cubes your casserole will be mushier. I prefer the cubes because it it serves up nicer
These are a perennial favorite .People always look for them at every church, holiday, or family gathering! A great make ahead dish also. Refrigerate of course if making day before
I LOVE potatoes. And of all the potatoes THESE are my favorite! Every single meal I could eat these. Every single one. So wonderfully cheesy! And the corn flake topping is a perfect crispiness on top of the soft, cheesy, potato casserole! Yum, yum, yum!
Can I substitute corn flake to rice crispy?
I have never tried that so I don’t know. Let us know how it goes if you try it!
These were so good, the kids ate all of them, they went so fast!!
My aunt used to bring this casserole to every single holiday. I’ve been missing it ever since we moved and the holiday dish lineup changed drastically. I can’t wait to try these!!! Such a nostalgic dish for me 🙂
Great recipe! Perfect comfort food for the winter months, can’t wait to try it out!
Hi,
Might be a stupid question, but if you make this ahead, would you just assemble and put in the fridge without cooking? Or would you assemble and cook, and then put in the fridge to reheat the following day? If the latter, how long to reheat and at what temp?
Thanks!
You could actually probably do either. It might taste the freshest after cooking and less dry if you don’t cook it first. Either way I would assemble without the crumbs on the top so they don’t get soggy. They will be easy to add right before cooking.
Yes you can do ahead do not cook just mix it….I don’t use the cornflakes on top just extra cheese if you use corn flakes put them on just before you bake.
Can you do this in a crockpot?
I haven’t tried it in a crock pot, so I’m not sure! Let us know how it goes if you do try it!
@Sue
Just curious if you made this in a crockpot and if so, how long did you cook it and did you have to change anything about the recipe to make it work well?
This sounds good,
Do I defrost the hash browns first. Or use frozen. Thanks
You can do it either way. I like them thawed first because I feel like they cook better but you can do them frozen too!
Can you make this a day ahead and store in the fridge?
Yes, that should be just fine
Love this recipe!
P.s. If you don’t want the crunch of onions but still want yummy onions in the dish, I recommend sautéing the onions in oil or butter with minced garlic first until they are soft and delicious.
That is a great idea – I often do this to hide the onions from my kids. Thanks for sharing!
Just use your grater and grate the onion. Then they are so small that you don’t even notice them.
Onion? What onion? There is no onion in the recipe? Are we looking at the same recipe?
I use cheddar cheese instead of cream of chicken soup.
Could you think of a good substitue for the can of cream of chicken? I personally strongly dislike it, because I feel as though the chicken just taste fake. It honestly makes me sick. Thanks for any suggestions in advance!
I always use my friend, Melanie’s cream of chicken recipe.. it can be found HERE
Thank you for asking! This is a homemade cream of chicken soup recipe from a good friend of hours – Melanie at Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. See recipe here: http://www.melskitchencafe.com/homemade-condensed-cream-of-chicken-soup-and-how-to-sub-in-recipes/
I am making this for a birthday party, how many will this serve ?
This recipe makes 12 servings. Good luck with your party!
I love your site because some of my favorite recipes are ones you rave about, it makes it easy to trust the deliciousness of the rest of them! Thank you for sharing your passion with the rest of us. I tried this recipe and I love the country style potatoes, better than shredded. I also love the topping, I never bothered before but my kids loved that part the best!
I loved the country style hash browns and will use this recipe again but with less salt. 🙂
Do the hash browns need to be defrosted and how much butter goes with the cornflakes?
Being from Australia, I find it hard to understand some of the ingredients used in the recipes I find online. Could you please tell me what hash brown cubes are? Are they just cubed potatoes or is there more involved? Thank you
Yes, they are just the cubed potatoes that are small.. the ones in the frozen section of the grocery store.
They are a potato grated.
Crushed Ritz crackers are also yummy!
I wonder how it would taste with Panko bread crumbs. Any other variations you recommend instead of corn flakes?
Yes, panko, corn flakes, or I have even heard of people using potato chips! 🙂
I use crushed up Fritos! Everyone loves it this way that has tried it!
I’ll have to try Fritos next time I make this – thank you for the idea!
I use crushed Ritz bacon flavor crackers….just adds that little something extra!
Oh yum! Great idea!!!
Love this recipe, a favorite in our family for sure! My mom requested I make this for her birthday dinner this year. The only thing I do differently is used shredded hash browns.
Is a cube of butter a stick of butter or a couple of teaspoons of butter?
A cube is one stick.
i make this also, the only different thing i do, is i put ham in mine, and instead of crushed up corn flakes, i use crushed up cheddar and sour cream potato chips. this is a very good recipe, a good way to use some of that leftover Easter ham.
What is a CUBE of butter?
cube=stick
same question.Cube?? I use tater chips on top.
Instead of pint, it is easier to say 16 oz. Maybe we use simple language in MI.
I also add extra stick of butter & top with potato chips.
I use the shredded potatoes instead of cubed. Add garlic powder. Always make sure they are frozen. When you mix . If your ha da are not numb your not doing it right. For a completely different taste you can add a pancake of bacon peices not bits, I mean the packages kind in the bags by the dry ranch dip mixes., and add that to the mixture or justvti the topping for a bacon crunch too. Yes you can cook your own…but why? Lays potato chips crunched up and mixed with additional shredded cheese on top is also a great topping. Keebler butter crackers or cheese it’s work too!!!
