My aunt makes funeral potatoes for family gatherings, and of course church happenings, but I'd never tried them until last year. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them, despite the list of ingredients we don't normally use. I don't have her recipe though, so I chose to try this one out on Christmas day for a small, immediate family dinner. DH doesn't eat cheese, except in very rare exceptions, and cheddar is never one of those, so he didn't try this dish, but DS, DD and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time I think I'll reduce the amount of chicken soup slightly and try browning it all a little longer, as the crunchy bits were a favorite part of the dish. Thanks for sharing another great recipe, scotty's mom!
