Thinking Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 I went to an LDS funeral on Saturday and there were no funeral potatoes served at the family meal following the dedication of the grave. Mexican food was served (a favorite of the deceased). By the way, I really like the different versions of funeral potatoes that I have eaten over the years. Funeral Potatoes 3
bluebell Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 I haven't ever actually had funeral potatoes at a church funeral meal. I've only ever had them at potlucks. 1
Rain Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 I think as talk about them grew in popularity they began to be served less. Also I found they were served more with ham. Ham is easy to prepare. Now though ham seems to have gone out of popularity in many places. I really prefer funeral potatoes with the square hashbrowns instead of the shredded. And no cornflake butter topping. And definitely no frosted flake topping like my sister-in-law had in the south. I was willing to try it once, but it totally changes it.
Garden Girl Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I love them, and occasionally will fix a small batch for myself... every after funeral dinner at church has served them... I use shredded potatoes... GG Edited March 15, 2020 by Garden Girl
