This recipe got its "tongue in cheek" name by always being part of the luncheon after a Mormon funeral. I’m confident there are other religions that have their funeral staples too and I’m sure this dish isn’t isolated to just Mormons! Anyway, t... More

A stick to your ribs kind of meal! I like that. Bookmarked it so I can hopefully make it soon. That's the only problem with this site, so many wonderful recipes to choose from for tonight's dinner! Thanks for sharing:)


Although the name is morbid it sounds delicious! I will save this for an autumn Sunday supper. Thanks for the post!


This is a great recipe. Around here, it's not a true potluck dinner if noone brings Cheesy Potatoes (that's what they're called here). It's also a staple recipe at my house, I just cut the ingredients down and make it in an 8" square pan for my small family.


This is kind of funny, but not really: I just left a comment yesterday and I've never referred to this recipe as "funeral potatoes" but today I got a call to make them for a funeral dinner on Monday. Kind of weird, huh?


My sons are 17 and 21 years old and have never know these potatos by any other name. I am sure that they will some day tell their children how great these are. Everyone should try them!


I have to say..the name got my attention but the recipe made me stay!


I was wondering if anyone had ever tried a reduced fat version of funeral potatoes? If so how did it turn out?


I have seen this! It was in an Episcopal cookbook. Great post and great recipe.


This sounds delish. I have eaten something similiar so it's not just a Mormon dish.


This is the name I have always known them by too, of coure I am Mormon so that would explain it.


This is a great dish to serve whenever you are having a ham dinner. I have known these as funeral potatoes and known it as a mormon dish ever since I was about 15 and am now 62. Who really cares! It is delicious!
