The funny thing is that we didn't name our potato dish. See in our church whenever there's a funeral and members are asked if they can to please donate food to the extended family for after the services, quite often you'll see at least 4 variations of this dish. I think there were at least 6 at my mother-in-law's funeral. So many people in our church call it funeral potatoes. But my mother-in-law loved to serve it at other times too....like with a ham dinner. And she said it was silly calling them funeral potatoes when there was no funeral. So she told me that they are also known as yummy potatoes because everyone loves them. My family is sooo picky but they love them now too and make sure that every Christmas and Easter when we have ham that I make them.
