Funeral Potatoes
These funeral potatoes are creamy and cheesy, with sour cream, onions, extra spices, and a crunchy potato chip topping. Always a hit, this cheesy potato casserole will get gobbled up quick! Great for potlucks and holidays.
We made these funeral potatoes for Easter last month and I was super rushed taking photos, but I just HAD to share the recipe with you because it is AMAZING! If you don’t know what funeral potatoes are, it’s just a cheesy potato casserole. I’m not sure if it’s a Utah thing to call them “funeral potatoes” because we make them a lot for funerals, but they are a great side dish for holidays and potlucks too!
I feel like my version of funeral potatoes has a leg up on the others because instead of just using a plain old diced potato or hash browns, I used O’Brien potatoes, which are diced potatoes with peppers and onions. So much more flavor!

Speaking of flavor — one of my all time favorite savory combos is sour cream and onion. And this cheesy potato casserole is loaded with sour cream and onions of all sorts: dried onions, chives, and green onions. I used sour cream and onion potato chips on top too. Perfection! This casserole was gone in jiffy. Everyone came back for seconds, and thirds! I hope you get the chance to try it!
