Frosted flakes?! My family has always made this recipe with corn flakes (sometimes I use special k). I can’t wait to try both croutons and frosted flakes. Yummmm
susannah says
my variation:32 oz shredded hashbrowns, one can cream of mushroom soup, 8 oz sour cream…mix the soup and sour cream together, then add the hasbrowns and mix well..top with shredded colby jack cheese, cover with foil and bake until cheese is melted in a 400 degree oven, take foil off top with French’s fried onions and put back in oven for about 5 minute or until the onions just start to brown.
Susan Wojtowicz says
We call them Funeral Potatoes because my recipe makes enough for a crowd. Here’s my version:
32 oz defrosted hash browns
1 samll chopped green pepper
1 small chopped onion
1 can EACH cream of potato and cream of celery soup
12 oz sour cream or plain yogurt
Mix all together and bake covered for 1 hour
Diane Weber says
This is a family favorite for Christmas…I put crushed cornflakes on top mixed with the melted butter.
Margaret says
With the exception of the bread crumbs it’s a copykat recipe for a Hash Brown casserole served at Cracker Barrel Restaurants.
Denise says
How many does the recipe serve?
Lindsey says
My grandma passed down this recipe to us we have been making it for thanksgiving and easter since well before we were born, and i am 29 years old. lol We call is Crunchy potatoes and like someone else we also put corn flakes on top, and we came across another friend who makes it and they call them ” white trash potatoes” no idea why.. ha ha
Cheryl says
This is a family favorite. I make this potato dish to go with ham. I also use corn flakes instead of croutons.
Shareen says
My Mother and family have been making this wonderful dish for many years, mostly around the holidays. This yr. was the first yr. my husband tried it and now begs for it all the time!! Glad you were able to share such a warm and fulfilling recipe!!
Katie says
I’ve tried out a few different breakfast casseroles and this is the best by far. My husband loved the crouton topping. Delicious! We’ll be having it again on Christmas morning!
Kim says
This is very similiar to my version… just substitute 12oz of french onion dip for the onion & milk, and cut the sour cream back to 12oz, too. The french onion dip makes it faster to mix (no chopping!) and adds an addional flavor that is outstanding! Plus, you can usually pick up 12oz french onion dip free at Publix with a sale & coupon 😉
Katie says
Will have to try it that way. We do it with corn flakes instead of croutons for our crunch. And we use cream of chicken instead of cream of mushroom. And I believe we do extra cheese with two 8 oz packages. I’ve added chopped ham (or could do bacon) before to make it a breakfast casserole.
Raeanne says
I LOVE this casserole… I haven’t had it in forever since I can’t have dairy anymore… Thanks for making a pregnant lady crave food she can’t have! 😉
jenni says
This is commonly called “Funeral Potatoes” around here and is often served at funerals and holidays, etc. Never have tried it with cream of mushroom (here it’s always cream of chicken); and, I’ve also never tried it with croutons (only have had it with cornflake/butter or potato chip/butter mix). Will try!
Marisa Fedelin- Lopez says
I made this last week!!! It was AWESOME!!!! My WHOLE family loved it. I Added Grilled chicken so it became more of an entree than a side and also used ‘o brian potatoes because it’s what I had on hand, but it was delicious!!! I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!
Lauren says
Oh gosh this looks so good! Thanks for sharing. 🙂 I think I’ll “weight watcher-ize” though it by making a few substitutions. Light Olivio for butter (and using Olivio spray on the top instead of drizzling melted Olivio), panko breadcrumbs instead of croutons, 75% reduced fat cheddar, skim milk, light sour cream, and 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup. If I increase the onions a bit, that should add a bit of extra flavor to make up for all the fat the dish will be missing. Fingers crossed!! 🙂
Maria says
I leave out the butter all together and use corn flakes on top for crunch or the bottom of a bag of chips (parts and pieces and crumbs). My kids never liked the onion, so that is left out as well. Still yummy!
Stephen Bobbitt says
Frosted flakes across the top make this yummy also ;)..Instead of the croutons
jacque says
Everyone in the family will love this! Thanks!
Anna says
My grandmother makes a similar casserole whenever we visit her. It is one of my favorite things.

Wanda says
I need to do this for our Christmas meal at school next week! Thanks!
Jeni says
If you add big hunks of ham to this it's a great meal!!
Catherine says
I've had several variations of this dish. My family calls it "potato delight" and uses cornflakes tossed in melted butter as the topping. It's always a big hit!
Jerri says
This is one of my favorite sides, but I've never made it! I'll have to try out your recipe!
Hope you'll link up at my Christmas Recipe event on Thursday!

Try it with green chiles or add breakfast sausage to it and make breakfast burritos out of it.

Sounds great! Thanks for the recipe.
barbara.montyj says
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I'm going to make it also.
Angelena says
That sounds/looks so delicious. I am going to add that dish to our Christmas morning brunch. I must be hungry – I did a post on my blog today about baking bacon lol.
Dawn says
Christmas morning brunch seems to be on the rise…we do that now too…we actually started it about 3 Christmas’ ago because we don’t have anyone over on Christmas morning…it is just our small family…so we sleep in, open gifts then eat…anyway…I already do a hashbrown casserol that I pulled together the recipe for from other places…and it is a perfect addition…you can have anything else you want; ham, bacon, eggs, bisuits or toast…all is good together…but, we only do this once or twice a year…really good!
Michelle says
Looks delicious! I'm definitely going to have to try this recipe!
Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Kelly says
I make this all the time in my home but we use frosted flakes for the top instead of croutons! It makes all the difference in the world. It’s that sweet and savory mix that really makes this dish a winner!
Julie says
Kelly I use the Frosted Flakes as well & my family LOVES it. The sweet gives it just right right pop with each bite. It is wonderful & my group cant get enough. it is ALWAYS the first thing to go. I usually have to make a double batch.
Shirley Foster says
Do you still drizzle with butter when you use the frosted flakes on the hash brown cassarole sound good.
