Funeral Potatoes Made With Real Potatoes

"These Funeral Potatoes made with fresh potatoes are a comforting, homestyle casserole that delivers all the cozy nostalgia of the classic dish but with a fresher, lighter twist. Instead of relying on frozen hash browns or canned soup, this version starts with real potatoes cooked until tender, giving the dish a richer texture and more natural flavor. The potatoes are folded together with sautéed onion and garlic, a splash of milk, and plenty of sharp cheddar cheese, creating a creamy base that feels indulgent without being heavy. Olive oil replaces the usual butter, adding warmth and depth while keeping things wholesome. Once assembled, the casserole is topped with crisp golden breadcrumbs and baked until bubbling and beautifully browned. It serves six and takes about an hour and a half from start to finish."
