Also known as hashbrown casserole or party potatoes, this dish is commonly served within the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter-day Saints community in Utah and surrounding states at funerals and family gatherings.
However, these cheesy potatoes, topped with salty bacon and crispy cornflakes, are prime for any occasion. This version relies on jarred chicken stock base, rather than canned cream of chicken soup, to bring a savory edge and balance the richness of the creamy shredded potatoes.
Notes from the Food & Wine Test Kitchen
Whisking the seasonings and jarred stock base into the cream cheese mixture before adding the potatoes ensures that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the casserole.
Make ahead
The potatoes can be prepared through step 1 up to one day in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats. Proceed with recipe as directed.
