funeral potatoes are often served at post-funeral gatherings.
The quick and cheaply-made casserole can feed a lot of people with just a few ingredients and is easy to freeze.


What would they think of next?
 
LOL that's great.

What is it about funeral food though, it's always so good! Especially those little egg salad sandwiches cut in triangles.

Hmm, I'd eat it! I tend to like casserole dishes.

If someone on ATOT makes this, let us know how it turns out!

I make it all the time. It's basically creamy, cheesy potatoes with crushed cornflakes on top, so you get the crispy & the gooey all at once. It's pretty awesome lol. There's a bunch of ways to make it (and it goes by other names, such as cheesy potato casserole), but this one is super easy because it uses frozen hash brown cubes:

Basically just thaw the potatoes, stir everything together, and cover the top with butter-coated crushed cornflakes, then bake for 45 minutes.
 
I get where they're going with this, and am personally a big fan of easy-to-make comfort food. But holy shit who thought it was a good idea to call it that?

I think it's because it was a dish that was easy to make, could be made in bulk to feed a lot of people, and you could bring it to a funeral as a potluck sort of thing - comfort food.

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a moron, but all of the best funerals I've been to have been ones with great potlucks - you get good food & you get people together to talked about your family member or friend who passed away, it turns into a great last memory of them where you get together & eat comfort food & share memories about the deceased.

On that tangent, I remember seeing a video back in grade school about a guy who died from AIDS. He knew he was dying in advance, so he planned this huge party for his funeral - brought in all of his favorite foods & setup dozens of televisions with pre-recorded video messages & video clips from his time with his family & friends. It was super cool...I definitely don't want to have a sad funeral; not meaning to be narcissistic here, but I want people to celebrate my life, not get all mopey about it. Had a good run, peace out! lol.
 
Hellfire Pizza is really good too. Sadly, it all but impossible to figure out where they will be parked on any given day. 🙁

Same for my favorite local food truck - they do amazing pork belly sliders & deep-fried baby potatoes in duck fat with a fried egg on top. No freakin' idea where they'll be next 🙁
 
6 months after wife's death I hosted a sit down dinner for 140 at a fine Italian restaurant with open bar and order what you will. Way better than potluck and everyone had a chance to grieve beforehand and have a great day of memories. To be on topic: There were many potato choices. A Walmart was nearby.
