Method
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until they are tender, approximately 10-15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and cream of chicken soup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the cooked potatoes and half of the French fried onions to the creamy mixture. Gently fold everything together until well incorporated.
Pour the potato mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the casserole with the remaining French fried onions, then drizzle the melted butter over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious French Onion Funeral Potatoes!
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat by covering the dish with foil and warming in the oven or microwave individual portions. Optional: Add cooked bacon bits or sautéed vegetables for extra flavor.
