Ree Drummond’s Funeral Potatoes
Ree Drummond’s Funeral Potatoes
Ingredients
1 28- to 32-ounce bag Hash brown potatoes, frozen
1 Onion, medium
2 cups Chicken broth, low-sodium
1/4 cup All-purpose flour
1 Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Kettle-cooked potato chips
8 tbsp Butter, salted
1/2 cup Cheddar, grated sharp
1 cup Milk
1 1/2 cups Monterey jack cheese, grated
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
1 cup Sour cream
Directions
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.
