Potato Casserole (aka Funeral Potatoes)

“My husband, Steve, and I had this at an event we went too. It was so good, we requested the recipe.” – Calla Ferre

“This was the last of the side dish recipes that I made and photographed for the cookbook website, and boy that was a mistake! When you look at this recipe it doesn’t look entirely appetizing, but it is so tasty! Also not quite as heavy as I expected. When I went to see if I could find similar recipes online, I came to find out that these are often referred to as ‘Funeral Potatoes’ as they are a common comfort food served at luncheons after memorial services at LDS churches.” – April Ferre
