I am this excited to share today’s Week of Thanksgiving Favorites recipe with you: Party Potatoes Deluxe!
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! (Hey, there’s a time and a place for multi exclamation points, and this is definitely it!)
Party Potatoes Deluxe is my Mom’s specialty potato dish that she serves every year for not only Thanksgiving, but also Christmas, Easter and every special occasion in between. I can’t remember a single holiday over the last 25+ years where it hasn’t been served.
In case you hadn’t picked up on it, 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.
While mashed potatoes & gravy will always have their place at the Thanksgiving table, my family will always make room for Party Potatoes Deluxe!

Party Potatoes Deluxe
Description
Party Potatoes Deluxe are a staple at my family's holiday get-togethers. Creamy, crunchy, and decadent!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, divided
- 1lb country-style frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup crushed corn flakes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 1/4 cup butter in an 8x8 casserole dish in the oven while it heats.
- Meanwhile, combine hash browns, green onion, sour cream, cheese and soup in a large bowl. Transfer mixture to the casserole dish after the butter has melted. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in the microwave, then mix with crushed cornflakes. Sprinkle on top of the potatoes then bake for 15 more minutes.

This ultimate potato dish is definitely a bit high on the calorie scale, but for a special holiday, it’s worth the splurge. Hope you’ll give it a shot (I know Iowa Mom Eats would be very pleased!)

We call those Corn Flake potatoes at my house, and my mom’s recipe is slightly different (though not much!) from yours. It seems like everyone has their own variation on it. We request it practically EVERY time we go home! ;)

Oh man I love this dish! My friend made it one year for Thanksgiving and I had to have the recipe-hello butter no wonder we love it:) Love your post you make me laugh.
Katie @ Pop Culture Cuisine 11.14.2011
I have had those potatoes at many a church function, so yummy! My life has drastically changed from a year ago, I now have a child :)
Rachel 11.14.2011
Anything with butter, potatoes and crushed cornflakes is awesome in my book! As is the word blergh. I wonder if I could get away with making those for Thanksgiving this year, instead of regular mashed potatoes….
Leslie Means @ Her View From Home 11.14.2011
We make these too – every year! With the exception of the green onion. We just call them fatty potatoes. I was told they are called “sexy potatoes” too. I like that name best! :)
Natasha 11.14.2011
I love all of the different names of them… we called it Potato Bake at home :)
Mahealani @ Beauty, Brains, and Balance 11.14.2011
I want to live in that pan with those potatoes forever and eat nothing but them. Run on sentence, but that’s ok! :P
CherubMamma 11.14.2011
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!!
Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef 11.14.2011
yum! a year ago we didn’t have the same friends in town that we do now…it’s great :)
Amy 11.14.2011
I have to make these………….my mom makes a similar deal……..but, omg…….looks amazing! I dig the use of BLERG!!!!! YAY……..:)
Marie@feedingfive 11.14.2011
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.
Cass 11.14.2011
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.
Ange 11.14.2011
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…
Jane 11.14.2011
We never call them funeral potatoes (KS), but we always have them at funerals too! Sad reason to eat something so awesome…
Cassie 11.14.2011
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)
Machelle 11.14.2011
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?!!? :)
kathleen @ the daily crumb 11.14.2011
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!)
Morgan 11.14.2011
