    You may have heard this dish called Funeral Potatoes in lieu of Hash Brown Potato Bake. Funeral potatoes is a traditional potato casserole that is popular in the American Intermountain West and Midwest. It is often called “funeral” potatoes because it is commonly served as a side dish during traditional after-funeral dinners, but it is also served at potlucks, and other social gatherings, sometimes with different names.

    In my family, we always called it our potato bake, so I didn’t want to change that up! Plus, funeral potatoes sounded sad to me and this dish is anything but!

    When I was a kid, my mom would make this dish for any potluck or gathering. It was (and still is) a favorite of mine!

    The topping definitely is a favorite of mine. The crunchy cereal layer compliments the creamy potato mixture and combines into a dish you don’t want to pass up!

    Over the years, various family members have made these and added their own fun twist to them. Some add in a little hot sauce to kick it up a bit! I have also heard people add in some diced ham and cooked broccoli to make this a one pan meal! Great options, right?!
    You can also buy the frozen hash browns that have the diced onions and peppers mixed in for added flavor! My mom started doing that years ago and now, its our go to method of enjoying these!

      When I lake the hash brown recipe, I mix in the cheddar cheese to the other ingredients, it keeps the cheese from over browning or burning that way.

      I’ve made this many times. Always a hit. But I prefer crushed potato chips instead of the corn flakes.
