Funeral potatoes are an all-time Utah classic! Commonly served at funerals (hence the name), or any large family gathering, funeral potatoes are some of the best comfort foods out there. The cheesy goodness brings back fond memories of a home-cooked family dinner at my grandparents’ house, laughing, playing insane games with my 50-ish cousins, and generally having an amazing time. Hopefully this cheesy potatoey goodness can become a tradition with your family too.
