Facts About Funeral potatoes
Funeral potatoes is a traditional potato hotdish or casserole that is popular in the American Intermountain West and Midwest. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints call the casserole "funeral" potatoes because it is commonly served as a side dish during traditional after-funeral dinners, such as those planned by members of the Relief Society. But the dish is also served at other church dinners, both within and outside of the LDS Church, as well as at potlucks and other social gatherings.
