For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder to the sautéed onions. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can substitute the sour cream with cream cheese, softened to room temperature. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends. Gruyere or Havarti would be delicious additions. To prevent the cornflake topping from burning, you can tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. These Funeral Potatoes can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
