Mormon Potatoes

In LDS culture (aka Mormon) we have several things people see as standard "Mormon." To name a few...jell-o, Mormon-Standard-Time, and Mormon (or Funeral) Potatoes. Last week someone passed away in my Mom's ward and today was her funeral. My Mom signed up to make some Funeral Potatoes for the luncheon after the viewing and funeral. We got this recipe a couple of years ago from a friend of ours (who happens to be not LDS), they were super yummy and easy (plus a little fattening too :D). The picture doesn't look like much but trust me when I say they are delicious!

Mormon Potatoes
Recipe came from Scottie

1/2 cup Butter
8 ounces Cream Cheese
1 can Cream of Celery soup
2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
32 ounces Southern Frozen Hash Browns, thawed

Melt butter and cream cheese in large bowl. Cream cheese does not need to be entirely melted. Beat together. Add undiluted soup. Mix. Add cheddar cheese. Mix. Add potatoes (thawed), mix.

Scrape into a 9x13 pyrex dish.
Bake at 375*F for 30 to 45 minutes, or until bubbly.

*Any cream soup may be substituted.
**Sour cream may be substituted for cream cheese.
