You may be wondering if the title was a typo. But it's not! This side dish gets it's name because it is a popular dish for luncheons after funerals.

POTATO CASSEROLE (FUNERAL POTATOES)
A creamy potato casserole bursting with great flavors. Perfect for breakfast carry-ins, potluck dinners, and more. Use the basic recipe and add your own touches. I love to add diced ham. Many people in my area call these funeral potatoes because they are a dish usually brought to family gatherings after a death of a family member. I am not fond of this name!

BASIC FUNERAL POTATOES
No Mormon funeral or any get-together for that matter is complete without funeral potatoes and a baked ham! This is only a basic recipe. It's good this way, but it's up to you to make it 'gourmet.' You can use potato chips, tortilla chips, or even corn flakes for the topping - I like to use sour cream and onion chips!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Take the potatoes out of the freezer while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, then melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in it. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to incorporate. Cook for a minute or 2 to cook out the raw flour, but do not let it color. Whisk in the milk, making sure to get out all the lumps. Add the broth and whisk again if there are still lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the Monterey Jack, sour cream and Cheddar. Add the hash brown potatoes and mix everything together. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan. Put the potato chips and Parmesan in a bowl and crush the potato chips. Pour in the melted butter and toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the potatoes.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh potatoes, vegetables, and herbs will give your Mormon funeral potatoes casserole the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a creamy cheese: A creamy cheese like sour cream or cream cheese will make your casserole extra rich and flavorful.
- Add plenty of seasonings: Season your casserole with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: You can add different ingredients to your casserole to make it your own. Some popular additions include bacon, ham, corn, and green chilies.
Conclusion:
Mormon funeral potatoes casserole is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy, cheesy, and potato-y goodness, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
