Funeral Potatoes (or Cheesy Potatoes or Party Potatoes) may have an ominous name, but they have an absolutely delicious, comforting flavor! Topping the casserole with kettle chips adds a crunchy texture to the creamy potatoes underneath.
In a large bowl, mix the hash browns, ¼ cup (4 tbs.) melted butter, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cheddar cheese. Stir until well combined.
Spray a 9”x13” casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the hash brown mixture into an even layer into the dish.
In the same bowl you made the hash brown mixture, combine the remaining ¼ cup (4 tbs.) butter and the crushed kettle chips. Toss until chips are well coated.
Spread the buttered kettle chips over the hash brown mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 40-45 minutes, until golden on top.
Allow to rest 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
