Seriously, they are called funeral potatoes. What a morbid name for something so delicious! Upon reading about this recipe, the name came from the tradition of taking a dish to a funeral or to the family of the deceased. This is one that many people used for that tradition as it is tasty, reheats well and is a crowd pleaser.
It is not exactly healthy...but it is good! And as we know....all things can be had in moderation!

Yes...the name amused me...in a morbid way!!! But makes sense once you taste it and realize it is a perfect dish to take to someone that is grieving...comfort food at its finest!!
Yes!!!! The calorie content is off the charts! But we sometimes need comfort food and we just need to work it into our food budgets!
I was on board till I read cornflakes. LOL
