Funeral Potatoes

My family loves a good hearty meal. Don't get me wrong, quesadillas and taco night are a regular happening as well, but nothing beats a good meat and potatoes kind of dinner, am I right?

And, I'm proud to say that I've become a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to sides made with potatoes. Baked cheesy potatoes are kind of my thing. I've mastered them to the tee. I have made cheesy potatoes in the crock pot, I have mastered the cheesy potatoes baked side dish, but I have never posted the real Funeral Potatoes that we make.

OK, so let's back this train up a second, I just dropped the word “funeral” in a baked cheesy potatoes recipe – how odd is that? I have heard that the reason these are called funeral potatoes is that for years and years, ladies would bring these (delicious!) potatoes to the luncheon after a funeral. That's actually believe it or not where I had them for the first time.

These are one of the very best sides for ham and they're ALWAYS on the list of Easter dinner side dishes at my home.

And, they're insanely easy to make too!

Once you've gathered all of your ingredients, you'll simply mix them in a bowl all together, lay that mix in a 9×13 baking dish (This is BY FAR my favorite!) and top with the corn flake and butter mixture.

Pop that puppy in the oven and you are OFF to the races – seriously delicious and not much work at all.

You could also easily have this as a make ahead potato side dish as well. If it were me, I'd combine all of the ingredients minus the corn flakes and butter, put a lid on it, and put it in the fridge. Once you're ready to make the dish, top with the corn flake and butter mixture and put it in the oven. Although, you'd want to add some cooking time depending on how long you let them rest outside the fridge for.
