Notes

Variations:

Add finely diced onion (about half a cup) to your Funeral Potatoes for extra flavor. If you don't like the crunch of onions, you can grate the onion too.

Add cubed ham and add it straight to the potatoes for a delicious meaty meal.

Mix bacon or diced chicken into the potatoes.

Omit the crunchy corn flake topping and sprinkle with extra cheese.

Cook up your own potatoes instead of using diced hash browns. You'll need 6-8 good size potatoes to make Funeral Potatoes. Just peel and dice into bite size pieces and follow the rest of the instructions in the recipe card below.
