AKA Funeral Potatoes, for those looking to try one type of casserole traditionally taken to the family of the bereaved in some regions, including West Virginia. My daughter, Jennie, made a double batch for a family cookout and they had disappeared after the first pass. Almost even better, this recipe is super easy - just stir together then bake. These potatoes are great for any gathering, but I hope yours are all happy occasions. =^..^= Shared with permission.
