Funeral potatoes, a variation of au gratin potatoes, are a casserole-type side dish that is commonly served at potlucks, holidays, church dinners, and other social gatherings. The recipe is most often credited to the women of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Intermountain Region who make the dish for funeral luncheons and dinners. Like most recipes, there are variations of funeral potatoes with some adding ham, bacon, jalapeños, or perhaps using breadcrumbs on top in place of the flakes.
