Receta Creamy and Cheesy Funeral Potatoes
Funeral potatoes? I know, it sounds a bit macabre. This dish originated as a side dish, commonly served at after-funeral potlucks, by the Mormons. Traditionally, it's made with hash brown or cubed potatoes, with canned cream soup, cheese and sour cream. Since I don't buy canned cream soup, this recipe is made with cooked onion, and a roux of milk and flour. To up the ante of flavor (and added calories) cheese is added along with sour cream. The big ta-da is a topping made with either crushed potato chips (or corn flakes) with melted butter and some Parmesan cheese. Yes, it's decadent, but I guarantee that it's also highly addictive.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Take the potatoes out of the freezer while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat a large, deep skillet (or Dutch oven) over medium-high heat, then melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in it.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to incorporate. Cook for a minute or 2 to cook out the raw flour, but do not let it color.
- Whisk in the milk, making sure to get out all the lumps.
- Add the broth and whisk again if there are still lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 3 minutes. NOTE: Mine didn't thicken as much as I'd like, so I added about another 1/4 cup of flour.)
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the Monterey Jack, sour cream and Cheddar. Add the hash brown potatoes and mix everything together.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan. Put the potato chips (or corn flakes) and Parmesan in a bowl and crush the potato chips. Pour in the melted butter and toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the potatoes.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges, about 15 minutes more.
- NOTE: Depending on your oven, you might need about 25 minutes of baking time. The casserole should be bubbly and slightly brown around the edges.
- Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
