Private Recipe by

I used to make these from a recipe called "Funeral Potatoes". Apparently, this dish originated as popular to take to a buffet for a funeral luncheon. Thus the name. I made some changes/additions and recently served these at an extended family dinner. I swear that the last bit in the dish was fought over by the children and the adults! These were then christened, "Life of the Party Potatoes." I used mashed potatoes instead of hash browns and made a few other changes as well. These creamy potatoes are combined with a buttery corn flake topping to add some crunch. Let the party begin!
