Cheesy Potatoes

Cheesy potatoes, also known as funeral potatoes, are a super easy potato casserole that feeds a crowd. They are filling, comforting, and you can have them in the oven in five minutes, or by the time the oven is done heating up.

These gluten free cheesy potatoes can be made with cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup. We like to use cream of chicken soup because of the flavors that it adds. If don't eat chicken, feel free to use your favorite creamy soup. Just make sure it's gluten free.

Can I make this casserole ahead of time and freeze it?

Yes. These gluten free cheesy potatoes are best when made fresh but you can make these funeral potatoes ahead of time and freeze them before baking. Simple pull them out of the freezer 2 hours before baking. Since the hashbrowns are already frozen, it shouldn't change the texture too much.

  1. What brand has a gluten free cream of cheddar soup? I haven’t found one. Thanks!

    • Hi Holly,
      I linked to a gluten free cream of cheddar soup recipe but ended up removing it. I haven't found any brands of canned cheddar soup that are gluten free, only from-scratch recipes.

      Yes, we love mixing in diced ham. We usually add 1-2 cups of diced ham, when we do.

  3. I cannot buy frozen hash browns where I live. Could I use real grated potato? What extra steps would I need to take to get the same taste and texture?

    Reply

    • Hi Laura,
      To make hash browns from scratch:
      -Shred the amount of potatoes called for
      - Immediately put the potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let soak for about 5 minutes. This helps remove some of the extra starch.
      - Remove the potatoes from the water onto a clean tea towel and try to get off as much water as possible.

      I hope that helps,
      Chrystal
