Jennarator Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Yum! Love 'em. USed to eat them in SoCal all the time, and in fact I am now in IDaho, and we just served them at my son's baptism luncheon. ANd we had them at our wedding, too!! Hahahaha!! I like the party potatoes name better, but here they are funeral potatoes so if I tried to change the name everyone would be confused.

UrbanFool Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 That's one of the first thing I looked up when I became a Mormon. Everyone kept talking about them and I was too embarrassed to ask. Thank God for the Internet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADoyle90815 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 My Catholic grandma made a variation of those potatoes every Christmas and Easter when we went to her house for those holiday dinners. What was different about her recipe is that she added an envelope of onion soup mix to the cream of mushroom soup, and the potatoes were sliced. She also didn't use sour cream, and it had cheddar cheese on top instead of corn flakes or potato chips. It was known as scalloped potatoes, and the recipe came from a magazine in the 50's. I noticed in the Better Homes and Gardens 75th Anniversary cookbook, there's something called Potluck Potatoes, and it's closer to the Mormon funeral potatoes recipe.

RipplecutBuddha Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm hoping to start a trend of having 'Mormon baby back ribs' at my funeral. If we're gonna use comfort food at a time of mourning, I want everyone as comfortable as possible...full barbecue spread...Heck if it's good enough I might ask to be resurrected early to dig in with them;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 During the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, one of the souvenirs included a pin featuring an image of funeral potatoes.Food pins! How did i miss the food pins! Curses for not being more into the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
