If you’ve ever spent time in Utah, it’s very likely that you’ve heard of funeral potatoes. Originally, they were a popular dish that people brought to funeral lunches. These creamy, crunchy potatoes have grown in popularity and today, no gathering is complete without them! While traditional versions call for hash browns, we decided to try the mashed potatoes, with a dollop of cheese and a side of buttery cornflakes, and were delighted with the results!
While this dish was originally designed for somber occasions, it is undeniably delicious, and we think it’s more than acceptable to bring to any occasion, whether it’s a potluck with friends or a weeknight family dinner. We’re totally addicted to this casserole and you will be too – it’s to die for!
