If you’ve ever spent any time in Utah, it’s very likely you’ve heard of funeral potatoes. Originating as a popular dish that people would bring to funeral luncheons, these creamy and crunchy potatoes gained popularity and now no get-together is complete without them! While traditional versions call for hash browns, we decided to try out mashed potatoes, along with a serious amount of cheese and a buttery corn flake topping, and we were thrilled with the results!
While these may have started out as a dish made for sombre occasions, there’s no beating how delicious this dish is, and we think it’s more than acceptable to bring it to any occasion you may have, whether it’s a potluck with friends or a weeknight family dinner. We’re totally hooked on this casserole and you will be too – it’s a knock-out!
