I think it's such a kindness when a meal is lovingly prepared for the family of those who've lost a loved one. Lucy is so cute, enjoying time with Grandma and Grandpa! It was adorable that when you were putting the salt & pepper into the mixture to bring to Julie's family, little Lucy had her coloring book open to a page with a salt and pepper shaker. How fun! Thanks, as always, for wonderful videos and for bringing a bit of sweetness to this challenging life.
Oh, this brought back memories. 😊 My aunt used to make funeral potatoes at Christmas and Thanksgiving. Sooo delicious! 😋 She said the ladies at her church gave her the recipe. She belonged to a Mormon church with her first husband. I think I'll be making the for Thanksgiving now. 😁
I have made these for years. They are a family favorite especially my son. I know you are enjoying time with your little granddaughter. She’s so sweet.
I think every good Mormon family grew up with funeral potatoes on the table and at gatherings such as funerals. We were converts to the church and my mom was always watching her waistline so she didn't typically make them at our house, but now that I'm a grown woman and married to a man who's mom always made them, I've begun making them as well especially at holidays. I'm not the biggest fan of them myself but that's just because I'm not a potato fan, but you can bet I wrote that recipe down for my daughter in a cookbook of our favorite family recipes. Thanks for sharing your recipe and that little Lucy is a doll.
I had my daughter about 8 weeks ago and my aunt brought me this except she put chicken it as well as some jalepeno. All I had to do was bake it! Talk about helping a new mom out. I will tell you from my experience it meant so much to have a warm meal, I think this is very sweet that you did this for your daughter ❤️
I started following ellie and jared first during their initial fertility journey when they started trying for jackson and then eventually bonnie now grandma and grandpa griffiths has their own channel? Im all in
I am actually making these tomorrow with a ham. I call it hashbrown casserole and it’s my favorite. Your voice is so soothing, I wish I had a nice mom who made food for me! Your girls are lucky.
Been going through my husband mom recipes and scalloped potatoes and ham so glad she wrote it in her hand writing thing of making something with one of her recipes maybe a cutting board with a recipe
Melissa I’m glad for you, that you found that treasure from your mom (what a gift)!!! That’s one of my favorite meals, (which I also got from my mom, happy memory)!Have a good one!!!SANDY
A classic favorite and comfort food for this Idaho gal. ❤️❤️ I have tried it with Simply Potatoes from the refrigerated aisle in a pinch and they turned out great!
My family have been making these for years and years and have always called them party potatoes! I just recently learned people call them funeral potatoes definitely two very different occasions 😅
Hello Jennifer! My adoration and respect for you and Chad increases every time I watch your video. Darling Lucy's presence added more joy. I admire your patience and the joy with which you do every act and above all, the strong family bonding. God bless you all.
oh my goodness. One of the cutest videos ever. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. We have having a big dinner this weekend for fathers day and I am making your recipe. You are lovely and little Lucy is just a doll. Thanks again. Be blessed. I just subscribed to your channel.
I call them Church Potatoes. We love them. My neighbor and I were going to several funerals one summer and were always making "funeral potatoes" we thought it sounded happier to call them Church Potatoes.
Looks delicious! I love potatoes and baked they are also so very good. What a lovely granddaughter Lucy is! She looks exactly like her mother. At that age children are so pure and innocent. How lucky you and Chad are having all those children and grandchildren.
We call this texas potatoes or hashbrown casserole! I love your salt n pepper shakers! Have you had them a long time. My mother had a set like that but with granny Smith green tops! Takes me back! Watching Lucy watch you cooking...what a great memory that will be for her and for you! ❤
Looks delicious! the corn flakes reminds me of one of our favorite casserole its called special K casserole it is so delicious! so good for church potlucks.
SO good! My family makes these and call them party potatoes(we use cubed, definitely going to try shredded!) . We have them at every large family gathering. Except we do no crunchies on top, extra extra cheese! Awesome video!
I love your channel and I love your videos I have a small family me and my two kids and tomorrow is Easter I don't want to make a humongous ham so I am going to buy the ham chunks like you did and make this tomorrow for Easter thank you for sharing this recipe.
Lucy is so very precious!! I enjoyed getting to see her today❤️💕 I know she enjoyed her special time with grandma and grandpa!! Hopefully Julie was able to get some much needed rest!! This looks so yummy!! I can’t wait to try this!! I’ve always used the box mix of potatoes because I’ve always been afraid to try to make them from scratch (the Au Gratin ones I mean) …. So silly I know!! So I will for sure try it!! I wanted to also give a little tip that was my grandmas! A tip that I use in my kitchen! Maybe it will help someone! When ever you cut an onion. Save all the scraps, even the skins…. Every bit of it. Put it in a large ziplock bag and place in your freezer…..you can use those for when you make your broths or soups!! You can do the same with carrots and celery, just throw all those scraps in the same bag!! Those ends have lots of flavor… so don’t throw that goodness away!! Especially during these hard times!! God bless you all ❤️💕✝️
@Trina I do this as well and make Beautiful, Rich Stocks with them each month and Pressure Can it! Tutorials are on my channel here. I try my best to get this taught to Everyone! Fantastic tip
@@DianeTheCanningNana thank you Diane! I’m now a new subscriber to your channel, I’m excited to check it out! I’m happy to watch any and all things canning!! Thank you 💕❤️🙏🏼
I made these for the first time at thanksgiving, they were a huge hit! I followed the recipe to the T, even putting a little mozzarella on top. My Grandkids ( 5 boys ) kept thanking me for making these potatoes so needless to say I will be making them every year and at Christmas time too! Thanks for posting your recipes!
Our family has made theses potatoes for many years. My mom always called them yummy potatoes. We have always used sliced green onion instead of the white onion you made. They are always a favorite when ever we make them.
I just love those potatoes and your green baking dish was so pretty. You can also add smoked sausage or chicken sausages. You are such a sweet and kind person. I am about the same age and I enjoy all your videos and your kids videos as well. Have a blessed day.
We make the same recipe except for the topping we crush up two sleeves of ritz crackers and add melted butter to the cracker crumbs and then spread over the top and bake. I’ll have to try with corn flakes.
I started watching and I was like ... wait .... that is Cheesy Potatoes !!!! ( Indiana ) Never thought about putting ham or bacon pieces. Will have to try that.
Madeline; Hi,Sandy here. I agree, I would LOVE to buy an actual cookbook, I missed that boat too! I can’t believe I missed out, I could almost be considered a collector. I have tons of cookbooks (all books really), but buying a cookbook with a connection to people who wrote it (with all the stories with it) is priceless!!! I wish they would consider offering it again for all of us that missed out, I’m sure we’re not the only ones !!! Jennifer if you see this, PLEASE CONSIDER!!! Are you sure there’s not a forgotten box full of them in the garage? Love your channel(s) Thanks for sharing, -SANDY-
I am sure the potatoes are delicious, but Lucy is the cutest!! I am sure she loves hanging out at your house getting all of the attention and yummy food! Such joy! ♥
Here in the Fingerlakes of New York we call them "Crack Potatoes" also. Because they are habit forming. I once was out of cornflakes and had some sour cream and onion potato chips so I crushed them up and they came out great. My daughter also likes to put a can of chopped green chilies in hers. I love ham in my sometime also. It is so versatile.
What a gr8 idea to put chunks of ham in the potato casserole! Thanks for that idea. Chad is a superb taste-tester, and little Lucy is absolutely precious!
It’s so funny to see your cooking and baking bowls I have your every day dishes. And I have the same casserole dish you use in this video. I have the same mixer. …..
I didnt grow up in Utah, but lived there for most of my teenage years. Dead Wives potatoes are the single greatest culinary contribution Utah has ever made. Much better than jello Salad, or , god help us, frogeye salad.
I’m from Maryland and my mom makes this but we call it potato casserole. She uses cream cheese instead of sour cream. She also puts the butter with the cornflakes instead of the onions and it’s so good.
My mom use to make cheesy potatoes. she would throw everything thing in a pan put in fridge and next day she would put them in oven. She passed away this year. Best mom ever.
Yes thank you! I live in Utah but some how I've never had it eaten them but I tried to make them for my boyfriend for the first time and they didn't turn out right so I'm so excited about this video 🥰🥰
I like lots of pepper in my funeral potatoes too. I use frozen tater tots to make mine. There’s lots of ways to make them and they’re all delicious!! I’m going to have to try the melted butter and sautéed onion. My boys always request them for Christmas and Easter.
These are my families favorite too! I always make them at Thanksgiving and Christmas or upon request by nieces and nephews. Funny thing is, I have never made them for a Funeral🤣🤣🤣
I used to have a job as a Cooking School Coordinator ( some of our grocery stores here have them it isn't like a college or university) and we had a recipe from the chefs that was a Leek Au gratin so I just know I love this recipe, if you like leeks and would like to try a different addition I can send you the recipe. I'll go with Grandpa to the store if he buys me something nice lol. Did you purposely have the colouring book page on Mr Salt and Mrs Pepper?? It looks so delicious!
Funeral potatoes is the one dish my daughter requests every year for Thanksgiving. Yum!

I love that Lucy was in her mamas tummy on the cover of the recipe book and yet using that book with her sitting next to you!
That’s true!

The first time I had them at a Relief Society function. Love at first taste!
You are blessed to have your precious granddaughter with you. She could be helping you pour food, stir food, etc. they are grrrrreat helpers!🥰
These are “Cheesy Potatoes” at our house and they are always served with ham at Easter.
Potatoes look delicious and Lucy is absolutely so sweet and adorable. Grandchildren are the best.

I am so happy i found you again ! Hello Lucy 👋❤
My mom used to bring this dish to every potluck and we named it Barb’s cheesy hashies because people always asked what it was called! Looks so yummy!
The potato dish looks wonderful. Love the chair your husband is sitting on. The fabric is amazing and your grand daughter is a real cutie.
We call this texas potatoes or hashbrown casserole! I love your salt n pepper shakers! Have you had them a long time. My mother had a set like that but with granny Smith green tops! Takes me back! Watching Lucy watch you cooking...what a great memory that will be for her and for you! ❤

Sometimes I use chive dip in place of the sour cream and it’s really good too. Thank you!
I love potatoes no matter how they are fixed these look delicious. Lucy is adorable God bless
Aunt Linda will have to have them on her menu for her funeral. Love your videos.

Potatoes of any type are always good in my opinion
Looks delicious

That potato recipe looks sooo good! I’m definitely going to make that with ham!
Oh sweet Lucy at the end lol. All of your kids and grandkids are just soo cute😍
Recipe looks great.
Little girl= Priceless. ❤

@@awiselittlehomestead777 just goes to show how many names one recipe can have. but whatever anyone calls them I sure we all call them good
I could kick myself 10 times over for not getting the hard copy book when it was available!
I’m sorry.
Cozying up this weekend
to binge watch your channel.
💕💕💕

It’s so funny to see your cooking and baking bowls I have your every day dishes. And I have the same casserole dish you use in this video. I have the same mixer. …..
I found this recipe in an old LDS ladies relief society cookbook that I found at a garage sale 😀 We have these every Christmas and Easter!❤
I didnt grow up in Utah, but lived there for most of my teenage years. Dead Wives potatoes are the single greatest culinary contribution Utah has ever made. Much better than jello Salad, or , god help us, frogeye salad.
Your cookbook is my all time favorite cookbook ever!! Love it so much. ♥️❤️♥️ thank you for sharing your recipes.
I will definitely give those potatoes a try. Lucy is such a sweet child, she looks so much like Julie.
I’m from Maryland and my mom makes this but we call it potato casserole. She uses cream cheese instead of sour cream. She also puts the butter with the cornflakes instead of the onions and it’s so good.
Have a blessed night guys💗
I made these with my ham tonight. Funny because that was before I saw this video!!
My mom use to make cheesy potatoes. she would throw everything thing in a pan put in fridge and next day she would put them in oven. She passed away this year. Best mom ever.
That is so sweet of you. I bet she was!
Love this potato recipe
We call them funeral potatoes (or taters) in the south…. SO good. It’s a staple at both my grandparents houses during the holidays
Oh no is aunt Linda wanting to taste test the funeral potatoes now too?
In Tennessee we call this hashbrown casserole and we put Durkee onions on the top.
Lucy is such a little darling.. I love seeing her in the family videos.. I know her Aunt Ellie and Aunt Bonnie think she's just the cutest :)
Yes thank you! I live in Utah but some how I've never had it eaten them but I tried to make them for my boyfriend for the first time and they didn't turn out right so I'm so excited about this video 🥰🥰
Be sure your potato’s are cooked ahead, or if you use frozen, be sure they are completely thawed!
Too cute😍 I'm definitely trying this for Christmas. Thanks for sharing.
Grandma and Lucy are beautiful.I love video.
I love funeral potatoes. I agree with you Jennifer. I love extra cheese on the potatoes. Have a blessed day. 😎💜💜
I made this without the butter and cheese because I need to lose weight and I put extra lean ham. It was delicious!!!!
Thank you for sharing how to make this delicious recipes. One of our family favorites!
Happy Memorial Day weekend Aunt Nancy celebrating
Hi in Australia we call that dish Potato Bake .but we use Pouring Cream instead of Sour Cream and no Tin Soup.
I make this as well, but my grandmother always used potatoes o'brien instead, the onions and peppers really adds to the flavor! :)
Where I live in Ohio, we call them "Cheesy potatoes'. They are always delicious at any party or get together
That's what my family in Western New York calls them as well.
I grew up in Upstate NY and they are cheesy potatoes to me as well!
I’m from Texas and we call them “Hash Brown Cheese Casserole”
I like lots of pepper in my funeral potatoes too. I use frozen tater tots to make mine. There’s lots of ways to make them and they’re all delicious!! I’m going to have to try the melted butter and sautéed onion. My boys always request them for Christmas and Easter.
I made them for our missionaries for a Christmas they spent with us in Pennsylvania.
You should paint your cabinets white, it would look so pretty! You guys are such a nice couple, God bless you🧡🍂🍁
These are my families favorite too! I always make them at Thanksgiving and Christmas or upon request by nieces and nephews. Funny thing is, I have never made them for a Funeral🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Jennifer and Lucy. They look yummy!
