Notes

Bring these Funeral Potatoes to Life!!!
Here are some tips to really make this potato casserole amazing!
  1. Do not let your Hash Browns and Onions thaw. Thawing them will make them too soggy for the baking process.
  2. Make this a full meal and add shredded chicken or diced fully cooked ham to this recipe to add more protein! Use my All Purpose Chicken Recipe or buy a rotisserie chicken to shred up.
  3. You can use fresh onion if you prefer, just finely chop it so you do not have chunks of onion in the casserole.
  4. Make it cheesier! Add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole before putting on the topping to make it extra cheesy!
  5. Adding Bacon Bits to the topping is a very nice crunch and flavor to add to this recipe!
