    • This method is fool-proof, easy, and comes together fast.
    • We give you all of the tips and tricks to make the BEST mashed potatoes that you've ever had!
    • potato casserole requires only a handful of simple ingredients.
    • This recipe is homemade from scratch giving you the freedom to make it gluten-free.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for this funeral potatoes recipe is easy! Pick them all up in a quick trip to the grocery store.

    Several bowls of cheesy potato ingredients on a marble board.
    1. Hash browns - You can use shredded or diced potatoes for this recipe. Thaw your hash browns for about 30 minutes before making this recipe.
    2. Medium Cheddar Cheese - This is my PRO tip for any cheese sauce (like this recipe or Mac n cheese) Use a stronger cheese that mild. It helps you have a nice creamy cheddar cheese flavor we love.
    3. Spices- Garlic salt, onion salt and flaky sea salt are a must!
    4. Broth- vegetable broth or chicken broth is perfect.
    5. Sour Cream- is the secret ingredient that give it a little extra creamy flavor and tang.
    6. Corn Flakes- if desired you can top your casserole with cornflakes for a little added texture. Omit if it's not your thing.

    PROTIP: When I'm using chicken broth but do not quite the amount of a can or carton I like to make my own with a gluten free bouillon and hot water. That way there is no waste.

    How To Make Cheesy Potato Casserole

    Four photos making a roux and adding ingredients to a white pan.
    1. In a large sauce pan make a roux. Melt butter, add flour and whisk to combine. On low heat allow to bubble for 60 seconds. *If making gluten free use Cup-4-Cup gluten free flour here.
    2. Slowly whisk in your broth, milk and all the seasonings. Whisk on low heat until sauce is thickened.
    3. Turn off heat. Add cheese
    4. Add thaw's potatoes. (If your potatoes are still frozen thats ok, you will want to add some additional baking time to your casserole. Cover with foil so your top does not over cook)

    FAQ'S ABOUT CHEESY POTATO CASSEROLE

    How do I store leftovers?

    Place leftovers in an air tight container and store in the fridge for 5-7 days.

    Is this recipe the same as funeral potatoes?
