Funeral Potatoes/Yummy Potatoes (Damon Robertson)
Recipe:
8 Potatoes (may vary if potatoes are large or small)
1/4 cup Butter
1 can Cream of chicken soup
1 pint Sour cream
3-4 Chopped Green Onions (I typically use 2 or 3 full bundles)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar (I use Tillamock)
Directions:
Boil potatoes whole for 15-20 mins until you can poke a fork in just barely (not soft). Let them cool before peeling and grating them. Put into a 9x13 inch pan sprayed down with Pam. In a saucepan melt the butter. Add All remaining ingredients, except for the cheese, and heat up on low to medium heat until warm enough to melt the cheese. Stir to avoid scorching the sauce. Pour sauce over the potatoes and fork it through until all potatoes are coated well. Cover casserole with an additional 1/2 cup of grated cheese before putting it in the oven for 45 mins at 350*. Serve hot.
