These baked cheesy potatoes (aka "Funeral Potatoes") are comfort food at its best and, luckily, you don't have to be at a funeral to enjoy them. Potatoes do double duty here, with cheesy shredded hash browns baked into a creamy sauce and topped with a layer of crispy potato chips.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium no-chicken broth or chicken broth
1 cup reduced-fat milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 ½ cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (30 ounce) package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
1 cup crushed potato chips (2 ounces)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the onion and cook, stirring, for another minute. Increase heat to medium-high and whisk in broth, milk, salt and pepper, making sure there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar, sour cream and Parmesan. Fold in hash browns.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with crushed potato chips. Bake until golden and bubbling around the edges, 40 to 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
