That’s an unusual name, but people know about it!

If you’ve ever heard of anyone coming up with a dish in Utah, it’s likely that this could be funeral potatoes. Originally served as a way for people to enjoy during old-style parties (including funeral luncheon), these creamy and crunchy potato dishes gained popularity and still get eaten today! We tried mashed potatoes in place of hash browns, and our taste buds were delighted to receive a delicious side dish that also had incredible texture.
