Funeral Potatoes
Someone doesn't have to die for you to make these, but it helps. Creamy, cheesy, with those crispy cornflake edges that everyone fights over. They show up at funerals, weddings, etc—anywhere people gather and need feeding. This is comfort food that feeds a crowd and is very healthy probably I'll bet.

Josh's Note: The name comes from their ubiquitous presence at post-funeral dinners, but don't let that fool you—these are celebration food. Make a double batch. Trust me.
