**Funeral Potatoes: A Comforting Dish for All Occasions**
Funeral potatoes, also known as cheesy hash brown casserole, are a beloved side dish served at gatherings and potlucks across the United States. This classic dish features a creamy potato base, crispy hash browns, melted cheese, and a flavorful combination of seasonings. While traditionally served at funerals, these potatoes are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed at any occasion. This article presents two variations of funeral potatoes: the classic recipe and a lightened-up version for those seeking a healthier option. Both recipes offer step-by-step instructions, ingredient lists, and cooking tips to ensure a perfect casserole every time. The classic funeral potatoes recipe features a mixture of frozen hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, butter, cheese, onion, and spices. The lightened-up version uses Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, low-fat cheese, and reduced-fat butter to create a healthier alternative. Both recipes are easy to follow and can be tailored to personal preferences, making them a versatile addition to any menu.
FUNERAL POTATOES
This dish was served at my aunt's home after a family funeral. The woman who brought this fabulous dish had no name for it, so in my family, it is now known as the 'Funeral Potatoes'. I make it for every holiday and special barbecues too.

BASIC FUNERAL POTATOES
No Mormon funeral or any get-together for that matter is complete without funeral potatoes and a baked ham! This is only a basic recipe. It's good this way, but it's up to you to make it 'gourmet.' You can use potato chips, tortilla chips, or even corn flakes for the topping - I like to use sour cream and onion chips!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Take the potatoes out of the freezer while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, then melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in it. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to incorporate. Cook for a minute or 2 to cook out the raw flour, but do not let it color. Whisk in the milk, making sure to get out all the lumps. Add the broth and whisk again if there are still lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the Monterey Jack, sour cream and Cheddar. Add the hash brown potatoes and mix everything together. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan. Put the potato chips and Parmesan in a bowl and crush the potato chips. Pour in the melted butter and toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the potatoes.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for funeral potatoes, as they are starchy and hold their shape well when cooked.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes: This will help to ensure that the potatoes are evenly sliced and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the potatoes: This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
- Use a large baking dish for the casserole: This will help to ensure that the potatoes are evenly cooked and that the casserole is not too thick.
- Don't overcook the casserole: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy.
- Serve the casserole hot: Funeral potatoes are best served hot out of the oven.
