Funeral potatoes get their unique name from being a crowd-pleasing casserole served as a side dish at after-funeral luncheons. Some say that this originated with the Mormans, however, others disagree.
Wherever and however they came to be they are delicious.
Oh, and just so you know, these are not just for funerals. Funeral potatoes are great for holiday menus as well as for a Sunday brunch.
Put these in a foil pan to take to a function or put them in a pretty casserole dish for the holidays. Everyone will love them.

What can I substitute for the cream of chicken soup to make it vegetarian?

Hey Eileen.
Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup or Cream of Celery are both Vegetarian and would work great.
Thanks for the great question!!!
