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!
