My Funeral Potatoes

   This recipe is for a classic Funeral Potatoes, or Cheesy potatoes Casserole, that uses fresh potatoes. (I haven't had as much luck with frozen potatoes with this one) It's a comforting and hearty dish that's perfect for gatherings or potlucks. It is addapted from my moms kitchen and I love it! Sometimes I top it with a crumb crust and sometimes its is just topped with cheese but it is delish both ways!

Baked Potato Butter Compound

Are you planning a baked potato bar soon? This butter may take it to the next level. I was inspired by a BBQ restaurant we go to on occasion that serves something similar. Its quite delicious and makes dressing the potato easier. Guests can just grab the butter balls which potentially keeps the line moving verses stopping to add their butter. The butter compound has cheese and seasonings mixed together and tasty!
