Party Potatoes Deluxe are a staple side dish at my family's holiday get-togethers. Creamy, cheesy, crunchy, and irresistible!

I am this excited to share today’s Week of Thanksgiving Favorites recipe with you: Party Potatoes Deluxe!
Look up “irresistible” in the dictionary, and you’ll find this creamy, cheesy, crunchy side dish.
Party Potatoes Deluxe is my Mom’s specialty potato dish that she serves every year for every major holiday.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and every special occasion in between are not complete unless there’s a big, bubbling casserole dish of these cheesy potatoes present.
I can’t remember a single holiday over the last 25+ years where it hasn’t been served!
In case you haven’t guessed, butter puts the deluxe in Party Potatoes Deluxe — and the party for that matter. It gives the creamy dish a rich and decadent flavor, and the crushed cornflake crumbs on top an audible crunch.
That said, this ultimate potato dish is definitely a bit high on the calorie scale, but for a special holiday, it’s worth the splurge.
While mashed potatoes and gravy will always have their place at the Thanksgiving table, my family will always make room for Party Potatoes Deluxe!
Hope you’ll give it a shot (I know Iowa Mom Eats would be very pleased!)

I want to live in that pan with those potatoes forever and eat nothing but them. Run on sentence, but that’s ok! :P
Yummy! (And I’ve heard them called funeral potatoes too.) AND…there can NEVER be too many potato dishes on the holiday table!!
A year ago…I had three children. Now I have six!!
yum! a year ago we didn’t have the same friends in town that we do now…it’s great :)
I have to make these………….my mom makes a similar deal……..but, omg…….looks amazing! I dig the use of BLERG!!!!! YAY……..:)
I was going to let you know that we know them as funeral potatoes but I guess someone beat me to the punch. My husband loves these.
Completely random question but what do you do for work? Do you blog for a living? I have been following your blog for a while and I remember when I first began reading it you would go to work and post your lunches you brought, but it doesnt seem like you do that anymore?

That looks delish! My family makes something similar, but ours is called hashbrown casserole. I’ll have to try your version some time! Hmm… a year ago my life looked very different! I was probably stressin’ about school.
I believe down here in the South (TN) we call this Hashbrown casserole ;)

I love these potatoes! We call them funeral potatoes here in Utah…
We never call them funeral potatoes (KS), but we always have them at funerals too! Sad reason to eat something so awesome…
I’ve always called them funeral potatoes too! At my cousin’s wedding, I kept telling my husband, Look, there’s funeral potatoes!!! All he would do is shake his head and say, we’re at a wedding dear, not a funeral…He totally doesn’t get it (And I was *slightly* intoxicated, so I’m sure I was a little over the top lol)
i WILL be makin those taters, cuz taters are my fav-o-rite food! you really can not have too many potato dishes on the table…..i’m sure of that! hmmmm….a year ago i was employed, now i am searching for a job. since i worked for my ex-husband….this is not entirely a bad thing! ha! and ya…..i might need an exclamation mark intervention!!!!!!! see?!!? :)
this looks very similar to my mother-in-law’s famous cheesy potatoes… it’s not a holiday without them!
my life is very different from one year ago! we live in a house (not our old apartment) have another dog (one became two) and a promotion in my job allowed me to work from home (best change yet!)
Those look DELISH!
this looks amazing! and like something i need to make for a work potluck!!
