Everyone loves a good potato recipe, especially when it's rich, creamy, and topped with buttery crisp breadcrumbs. It’s a comfort food side dish that works for just about any occasion—from Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter to summer cookouts. Traditionally, a cheesy potato casserole (also called funeral potatoes or hash brown casserole) is served at family gatherings after a funeral, so it's no wonder the dish is meant to be comforting. The recipe is kept simple by using frozen shredded hash browns for easy prep, and we added lots of cheddar, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup to make a thick cheesy sauce. Buttered breadcrumbs give the casserole some texture on top, but you can substitute them for panko breadcrumbs or even corn flakes for more crunch.
