Funeral potatoes, party potatoes, cheesy potatoes? The names are varied and many, but with golden edges, a sexy crust, melty cheese, creamy, tender, fluffy potatoes, Easy Grilled Cheesy Potato Casserole is everything my comfort food craving little heart could possibly desire!
Set up and preheat a barbecue grill for indirect cooking.
Indirect grilling or cooking means that the charcoal or flame is on one side of the grill and the skillet will cook not directly over it.
Saute butter with minced onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in a 12″ cast iron pan.
Stir in potato cubes (defrosted hash browns), cream of chicken soup, freshly shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
Sprinkle the crispy topping over the top of the casserole that is made from melted butter, crushed cornflakes, and parsley.
Cook indirect on the grill with the lid closed for 30 minutes or until bubbly, golden, and cooked through.
After sautéing the onions, the casserole may be cooked in the oven to finish. The details are below in the recipe card.
Any pan used on a barbecue grill may be substituted as long as the size is comparable. My preference is cast iron, as other pans do not create the unique ‘crust’ that happens with cast iron cooking.
Make sure the hash browns are defrosted.
Shred cheese directly from a block for best results as pre-bagged ha added non-clumping ingredients.
Use full fat sour cream and full fat cheese as opposed to reduced fat or fat free options for best results.
This dish may be cooked/finished in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes after step 2, which is sautéing the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in butter.
