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.

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

Ever mixed in meat? Like diced ham? To make a easy to make all in one casserole?
chrystal
Hi Stacie,
Yes, we love mixing in diced ham. We usually add 1-2 cups of diced ham, when we do.
Best,
Chrystal
Laura
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?
chrystal
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

If the soup is condensed, do you still add water to it when making this recipe?
chrystal
I use condensed in this recipe, you don't add additional water.
Best,
Chrystal
