Best cheesy potato recipe! I know them as church potluck potatoes because someone always brings something similar but this is by far the best recipe!

Funeral Potatoes, or as we call them, Happy Potatoes because they are so creamy and delicious, should not be made with hash browns. They don't hold up in the oven and turn to mush. You should use diced potatoes or frozen diced potatoes. Condensed cream of chicken, or mushroom soup, cheddar or peperjack cheese, (not cheese product)!, and can be changed up to fit any familys taste, ie: bacon, green onion, asparagus, ham. This is a wonderfuly filling dish and is always a hit at partys.

Only 4 stars b/c I didn't follow it exactly. I took the advice of others and cut the sauce back. I just used one can of cream of chicken instead of the other 2 soups. Also, half the butter and a little less water. After that, it turned it really good. I didn't feel it was too soupy at all.

My family has been making a version of this dish for years and years, it was a neighborhood staple and IS called funeral potatoes bcs it is served after funerals to the family. The way we make it though: Use shredded cheese, not cheese sauce No butter No water These changes will make the dish not soupy. Every person in the neighborhood had their own style to making it; add bacon or ham chunks, green onions, a "flake" type cereal for a crusty top, or a touch of cayenne pepper will give it a kick

I had never heard of funeral potatoes until my husband requested them. Thank goodness this recipe was here. It is now a staple in our family and everyone loves them.

Oddly, our family also calls this dish "Funeral Potatoes" and that's the title I used to search for this. As others have mentioned, I too use the cubed hash browns (or the O'Brien kind); I use shredded cheese (of the cheddar variety) and one can of soup - cream of chicken. I also use corn flakes instead of bread crumbs. Also, I add about 1/2 of an onion, diced. Awesome! A great compliment to ham. I always make this for Easter. Good for potlucks too!

Funeral potatoes are yummy, one of my fav dishes. however, this particular recipe is bland and runny. Yes, I made exactly to the recipe. I won't use this recipe again, and advise anyone looking for funeral potatoes, to keep looking.
