There's a growing movement afoot, easier and healthier......baked potatoes with dishes of toppings on the serving table. Hungry funeral goers may choose whether to be healthy or not!

Eating funeral potatoes is like saying, “I’m ok with having angioplasty and potentially having a heart attack from this greasy, fatty, comfort food that has almost ZERO nutritional value”. With all of the sour cream, butter and cheese, Funeral Potatoes are one of the most unhealthy dishes around, I thought we’ve become a healthier people? Our family jokes that the dish is called Funeral Potatoes because if you eat them, your funeral is next.

I grew up in Colorado and they were called Funeral Potatoes as well. And, yes, they were served at every funeral I attended for the family dinner afterward. :)

When that dish first became popular in our area, it was called Nauvoo potatoes. That is what I still call them after all these years. They are a favorite!
