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.
5-INGREDIENT FUNERAL POTATOES
This is comfort food at its best. Of course, any type of potato is comfort food to me. I had made these last night, and we had company over, and one person told me to watch out who I told about these because I would be put in charge of making these for funerals, (and they were the best he has had). I was flattered. I hope you enjoy these!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-x-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 (or Dutch oven) 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. Note: Mine didn't thicken as much as I'd like, so I added about another 1/4 cup of flour.) 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 (or corn flakes) 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. Note: Depending on your oven, you might need about 25 minutes of baking time. The casserole should be bubbly and slightly brown around the edges. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
MOM'S FUNERAL POTATOES
The ultimate cheesy comfort food! Made famous at Utah funerals, there as many versions of this dish as there are cooks baking it. I've tasted a lot of them over the years but my mom's beats them all-never soupy and full of flavor. Some people put crushed crackers or bread crumbs on top. It's not healthy-it's greasy, cheesy heaven. Probably why funeral potatoes are often referred to as "potatoes au gratin on steroids."

- Don't be afraid to experiment. You can add different vegetables, cheeses, and spices to your funeral potatoes to create your own unique recipe.
