Hash Brown Casserole

Hash brown casserole, sometimes called ‘funeral potatoes’ in the American West and Mormon communities, became a popular potluck and holiday dish in the mid-20th century thanks to the rise of canned soups and processed convenience ingredients. Its cheesy, crunchy-topped comfort has made it a staple of American breakfast buffets ever since.

Cheesy, crispy-topped, and endlessly comforting
