These crockpot funeral potatoes are cheesy, soft and delicious! The sour cream, butter, cream of chicken and loads of cheddar cheese makes these slow cooked potatoes an ultimate comfort food side for barbequed meatballs, meatloaf, barbequed chicken and so much more. This recipe uses fresh potatoes that have been peeled and finely cubed instead of the usual frozen hash browns or potatoes. Although using fresh potatoes is a little more work, I find it to be more budget friendly in my small town, plus fresh potatoes are something I always have on hand!

Storage for leftover Funeral Potatoes:
These funeral potatoes taste great reheated in the microwave or even reheated in the oven (covered with foil). You can keep the leftovers tightly wrapped or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can freeze the potatoes, but only for a few weeks as they can turn watery if stored long term in the freezer.
