Funeral Potatoes

Casserole Potatoes

Some people call this potato dish Funeral Potatoes but I prefer to call them Casserole Potatoes.  This is a simple to make side dish my children often request.  A Sunday regular at our house.

1 26 oz package of frozen potato shreds for hash browns (partially thawed in fridge)

1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter or margarine melted
1 1/2 cups lightly crushed corn flakes

I like to thaw the potato shreds by putting the bag in the fridge the night before ( when I remember) but it isn’t necessary.  In large mixing bowl mix sour cream and soup.  Fold in potatoes and cheese.  Spread potato mixture into a grease 9 x 13 pan.  Mix corn flakes and melted butter together, sprinkle over potatoes.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, if the potatoes are partially thawed.  Bake 55 minutes if potatoes are frozen.
