Hi this is Stephanie Manley with copykat.com. Today I want to show you how
to make a classic dish. It's called Funeral Potatoes, and why do you call
them Funeral Potatoes? Because this is often a dish that you bring to a
meal after a funeral if you're in the South, where I live. So today I
wanted to show you how to make Funeral Potatoes.
You know this looks kind of complicated, but I promise it's not. It's
really, really easy to make. We're going to use a bag of hash brown
potatoes. We're also going to use some sour cream, some butter, some
chopped onion. We're going to use a can of cream of chicken soup. We're
going to top it off with cheddar cheese and some corn flakes, and of course
we're always going to use a little bit of salt and pepper, and some chopped
onion.
These are really, really easy to make. So first thing we are going to is
we're going to go ahead and empty our hash browns into a bowl here. So
then we're going to stir in a stick of melted butter. That's a half a cup
of melted butter. I just heated this up in the microwave for about a
minute. We're going to add 16 ounces of sour cream. OK, and then we are
going to add in a can of cream of chicken soup mix. Eventually it will
come out of the can. Alright.
OK, and then we are going to stir these very carefully together. It's
really important to use a bowl that's too small. That makes them taste
extra good. The next things we're going to add are our chopped onions, our
salt, and our pepper. Be sure to click on the link in the description box
for the actual recipe.
Alright, so I'm going to put a little bit of non-stick spray in a 9x13
inch baking dish, and then I'm just going to pour these out
in here. Alright and I'm going to spread them out.
I'm going to sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top. Alright, this is probably
the most controversial part of this recipe. It's actually do you
put corn flakes on top, or not? I don't know. Your call, but I personally
like them.
So you crush them up just a little bit, not a lot. About 3 handfuls will
do. You're going to stir the corn flakes in the melted butter. This is
what makes them nice and crispy, and then we're just going to top our
casserole with them. Next thing we're going to do is put this in the oven
for about an hour and it will be ready.
Now at this point you could actually just put foil on top of it and make
this up whenever you get ready to serve this. Again it's going to take
about an hour to cook it up, or you can heat it up and eat it right away.
So we've just made Funeral Potatoes. It is a wonderful dish to make, and
you don't need a death in the family to have it. You can have it at any
time. So please be sure to rate, comment, and subscribe so you can see
