Chili Queso Party Potatoes

"In some parts of the country, a creamy, cheesy hash brown casserole is affectionately known as funeral potatoes. It's a beloved comfort food, often served at gatherings and potlucks because it's rich, crowd-pleasing, and feeds a lot of people. While we love the nostalgia of that classic, we decided to take the concept in a much more playful, flavor-forward direction."

"Traditional funeral potatoes are usually topped with cornflakes or plain potato chips and lean heavily into buttery, mild flavors. Delicious, yes-but we wanted something with a little more attitude. By layering in green chiles, melty cheeses, and a touch of heat, this version transforms the familiar casserole into something brighter, bolder, and far more festive. It's the same comforting base, reimagined for game days, holidays, and casual entertaining."

"The flavor profile leans into everything we love about Tex-Mex and Southwestern cooking: Mild heat from diced green chiles Rich, creamy cheese reminiscent of warm queso A subtle kick that keeps each bite interesting A balance of tangy, savory, and indulgent It's still ultra-comforting, but now with layers of flavor that feel modern and crave-worthy. The Crispy Topping That Changes Everything"

Chili Queso Party Potatoes rework the classic creamy, cheesy hash brown casserole known as funeral potatoes with Southwestern ingredients and a crunchy, sweet-spicy topping. The casserole layers diced green chiles and melty cheeses into a rich, creamy base that echoes warm queso while adding mild heat and tangy balance. The topping swaps traditional cornflakes or plain chips for Jackson's Jalapeño Sweet Potato Chips, adding bold spice, natural sweet potato sweetness, visual contrast, and pronounced crunch. The dish feeds many guests and pairs comforting richness with modern, crave-worthy flavors for game days and gatherings.
