My mom used to make this for us- so I loved it! I made a few minor adjustments...I used a mix of Monterrey Jack and Cheddar cheeses instead of longhorn as was recommended. I also used more like 3 cups of corn flakes and extra butter to make the topping (cause the crunchy top is the best part). I also used the frozen bagged hash browns with onions and peppers already in it since that is what I had on hand and it didn't really affect the flavor. Will make over and over and over again!!!

I've made these twice and they always get eaten up with no leftovers! I have changed the recipe to reduce the calories slightly and make them a little less greasy. I only use 1/4 c. melted butter and 1 can cream of chicken soup. I made them in the crockpot on high for 4 hours and they were perfect! I also left off the cornflakes and butter and no one noticed any difference.

These are so yummy. I added a little bit of chopped ham. They were delicious.

Amazing!!!! It fed a lot more than 6-8 for us though.

This recipe is AMAZING! I made it for my in-laws and they absolutely LOVED it. They are all requesting different things added like diced chicken, ham, or bacon bits. I think I might try it like that next time! I had heard of the recipe on another website I was looking at so I did some research and found out that the dish is called Funeral Potatos (or Utah Funeral Potatos) because it is often served along with other dishes after Mormon funerals.

Instead of using all of that butter I use the parkay spray butter that has 0 fat and 0 calories. I just dizzle it onto the corn flakes about 2-4 tablespoons. I don't like all of the fat from the butter or the grease.

My wife has attempted to make this dish several times with other recipes and each time it turned out more like Potato Soup. This recipe was easy, tasted great and best of all I didn't have to serve it in a soup bowl. :)

Like the lady said: It's called 'funeral potatoes because its served at funerals. In my church when we have a funeral, we have ham, funeral potatoes, a jello something [because I live in Utah], rolls, come from the bag lettuce salad and then a few homemade cakes [usually from a box - or not]. The recipe is pretty basic so that there is consistency with the menu, but some like to spice theirs up, if you know what I mean. I'm making these [again] for Easter - to go with the ham. My family loves them! No need to wait for a funeral....

Yum! I made these tonight as a side dish. They were FABU. My husband, kids and I loved them. They turned out perfect. The onion gave it a nice rounded out flavor. I used Medium Cheddar and only 1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup.

We found these to be quite tasty. I did, however, add ½ teaspoon garlic powder to the mixture.

I have not yet tried this recipe but here in Utah funeral potatoes are called so because if you go to any LDS/Morman funeral you are sure to find these potatoes.

We had mixed reviews for these potatoes at the family table. I thought they were pretty good. I reduced the butter by half, and they were still fairly rich. I might try cutting the cream of chicken to 1 can next time.

I make these all the time! We call them Party Potatoes. Sometimes I use cheddar cheese and sometimes mozeralla. Both are fantastic! Everyone should try this recipe!

My mom used to make these and they were always served at funeral luncheons, thus the name.

I thought these were pretty good, but Dave didn't like them. I halved the recipe and it just had too much butter. I'll cut the butter in half next time and maybe add some spices. Thanks

Made this last night for a church potluck supper with fantastic results....it was the first empty casserole on the table, and everyone was asking me for the recipe. Since we can't get frozen hash browns over here I had to substitute 2 lbs of peeled and chopped potatoes for them, and also I didn't know what longhorn cheese was so I just used a combination of mild and strong cheddar. I also added a small can of ham, chopped.I also decreased the amount of butter as per the other reviewer's advice. Otherwise I did everything exactly as the recipe stated and it was delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!

Man, oh Man! I LOVE this Cheezy Potatoes Recipe. I only use One Can of Cream of Chicken Soup, a 1/4 Cup Butter, and a 1/2 cup Onion (cuz I'm not a HUGE Onion fan). I also use medium cheddar cheese, but you could probably make these potatoes with ANY real cheese! These ALWAYS turn out GREAT! Thanks for posting! (Now I don't have to!)

I thought these tasted good, but there was too much butter. I scooped some out and there was butter pooling where the hole was. Too much for my taste. I also would have cut the sour cream down to 1 cup. Other than that, it tasted good.
