The Best Funeral Potatoes are a mainstay in some circles. If you’re familiar the Mormon church (where they’re also called Utah potato casserole), you might already know about them.
If you’re not aware of them — don’t ever let a recipe name kill your appetite. The Best Funeral Potatoes are actually just a cheesy potato casserole.
1 large 30-oz package of traditional frozen hash browns (take out of the freezer 20 mins prior to cooking)
1/2 large yellow onion chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups sour cream
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons chives we used freeze dried but you can use fresh too
1 can cream of chicken soup or click on the link in the paragraph above for a homemade condensed cream of chicken soup recipe
1 1/2 cups French's Fried Onions crushed
2 cups nacho cheese Doritos crushed
I used a large gallon size bag and a rolling pin to crush my French's Onions and Doritos.
