Hash Brown Potato Bake is a classic casserole dish associated with comfort and family. Packed with flavor, this dish compliments any meal!
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!

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.
