"I have noticed that whenever several people are given this recipe and asked to bring it to a potluck they are completely separate dishes! This is my favorite recipe for these. Although I highly recommend going the long route and making your own potatoes. The frozen ones just don't taste as good."

How many large potatoes is equivalent to 32 ounces? The recipe doesn't say. I'm thinking four?

PAC Fall 2007 - These were excellent! Very tasty indeed. I quartered the recipe as there is only two of us. Hubby went back for seconds and I was tucking in to the leftovers before I put them into the fridge! I did not cook the taters first, but just grated them into the baking dish as I thought they would have been a mushy mess. Also, 30 minutes is too long for boiling...20 minutes, tops. I ended up baking for 45 minutes to allow the potatoes to cook. Would definitely make again. Thanks Chalko!

Funeral Potatoes got their names cause in Utah it is what you bring to a Mormon funeral. The original recipe my mom has calls them supreme potatoes. What ever you call them they are yummy.

Add 1 cup of cheese to top of dish before putting on corm flakes and butter. Sprinkle top with crumbled bacon 5 minutes before done in oven. I also added 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder and 2 tsp pepper blend to the potato mixture. I prefer using 28 oz bag of potatoes o'brien.
