SLOW COOKER FUNERAL POTATOES (HASH BROWN CASSEROLE)



Slow Cooker Funeral Potatoes (Hash Brown Casserole) image

The hash brown casserole (aka funeral potatoes) have always been a food day favorite at my work but the topic came up and I discovered that my husband had never had it. I needed my oven for other things so I came up with this slow cooker version. I also chose to use potato chips over the traditional cereal topping but either will work.

Tips:

  • Use fresh potatoes: Fresh potatoes will give you the best flavor and texture in your hash brown casserole. Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes are good choices.
  • Shred the potatoes by hand: Shredding the potatoes by hand will give you a more even texture than using a food processor.
  • Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Use a creamy soup: A creamy soup, such as cream of chicken or cream of mushroom, will help to bind the casserole together and give it a rich flavor.
  • Top with cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the casserole will give it a golden brown crust and a delicious cheesy flavor.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Hash brown casserole is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it is also a popular dish to bring to potlucks and gatherings. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, hash brown casserole is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it.
