Company Potatoes a.k.a Funeral Potatoes
This finished dish is a nice change from potato salad for the holidays. Company Potatoes, otherwise known as, Funeral Potatoes are sure to be a crowd pleaser. This is a popular hot potato casserole in the Midwest. This dish is commonly called “funeral” potatoes because it is typically served as a side casserole for after-funeral brunches. Obviously this dish was a hit! It then became known as Company Potatoes because it was also served at various social gatherings and potlucks.
I recently had these on Mother’s Day at my son’s girlfriend’s Mother’s house. I have made a few changes.
If you follow me, you know I love dishes that are easy to make. The onion in the photo was rather large, so I only used half of it. Unfortunately, the green pepper didn’t make it into the photo.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together. Place in a large baking dish that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
TOPPING: Pull out of the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and then the crushed corn flakes on top. Place back in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese/corn flake mix is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Just before serving, sprinkle a little crushed dried parsley flakes over the top.
